I have been invited to speak at a conference in the USA. My partner, who is a U.S. citizen, has filed an I-130 petition for me as we plan to move there eventually. I also have a job offer, and the employer is in the process of sponsoring an O-1 visa for me.
1. Can I apply for an ESTA to attend the conference, and am I likely to be admitted?
2. Will traveling to the USA on an ESTA impact my I-130 petition or future O-1 visa application?
Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated
. Thank you!
