B visa after I-140

[aban]

Hi There,

 

What are the chances to visit US on B visa (B1-Business, B2- Visitor) after I-140 was filed/approved.  B - visa is Non-Immigrant Intent where are I-140 is immigrant intent. is it possible that the case might get rejected at visa interview?. is there any possible way to visit(a month) US after I-140. 

 

would appreciate your views. 

 

 

Thanks,

You can try but not guaranteed.

On the application, you have to answer yes to the question "Has an immigrant petition ever been filed for you?". The I-140 is an immigrant petition.

It is very unlikely that a visitor visa application would be approved, since the I-140 shows that you have immigration intent.

Thank you Jairichi, Joe for your valuable suggestions. 

 

If the I-140 benefiter already possess B-visa before filing I-140, can he/she use it for short term visit to US when I-140 being processed.

 

sorry for asking same question again.

 

your views are greatly appreciated

Using an old B visa when an I-140 is filed can easily result in a denial of entry at the POE.

They have all the information in their database.
