hey all:
I have a tourist visa and waiting for I-130 approval. Am I allowed to actually travel to US on tourist visa whilst waiting for approval? If so, did you get some trouble when entering US borders?
Thanks!

I did it multiple times. It’s certainly possible to visit during the process. As with any visit, entry is never guaranteed but having a pending I-130 is no reason not to be admitted. The average airline employee will not know, or need to know, what an I-130 is. It’s certainly easier if both spouses are traveling together.
Yes, we actually would be travelling together at this time, as potentially we actually would travel there if my husband got order to be moved back to States. So I would also be on his orders.
Did you have to show any proof that you were going to come back? I was reading that it’s good to have some proofs that you were going back to your country, ie. return ticket.
Depends on what type of visa. For example, although a B-2 allows stays of “up to 180 days” this is at the discretion of the officer upon your arrival. He is well within his rights to only allow 10 days or a week or less.The VWP is always 90 days.
I have a B-2. I but do plan to return within 2 months so I will have proof of a return. Thanks for the info
