You cannot and do not apply for visa when you have a case.

@keke o, but why not if it’s taking too long, is it not worth a try. it’s been too long waiting we willing to try anything at this point.

you can apply, the question is at what percentage actually get a visa? btw this is also back on illness so hopefully 🙏

copied from the web: If you intend taking up permanent residence in the United States, you are required to wait until the immigrant or fiancé(e) visa is issued. You cannot reside in the U.S. on a tourist visa or visa free under the Visa Waiver Program while waiting the issuance of the visa. just be careful and consult an attorney so you don’t complicate things.

Have adequate cash to pay the cost of the trip to the United States, as well as all living expenses while in the United States and the return journey home. By presenting as much evidence as possible, you can successfully obtain a visitor visa despite having a pending I-130 petition.

it’s an Attorney that’s submitting the paperwork/application with reason!

okay . Good luck
