B-2 with pending I-130

[Daniel.Flores]

My parents submitted an I-130 petition for me a few years back but I would like to visit them along with other family in friends in the US and would like to apply for a B-2 visa. As far as I understand I should be able to apply but may be denied based on my intent to immigrate through my pending I-130. I lived in the US for nearly 20 years from the time I was about 8 until about 5 years ago (currently 32) when I was issued a voluntary departure while my case was processed. While in the US I had a work permit and subsequently a job and went to school just like any other resident. My mother recently became a citizen and my father is a resident. My sister is also a citizen and my brother is currently a resident as well. They all live, work and study in the US. Will applying for a B-2 affect my pending I-130? I have absolutely no intent on staying beyond any allowed time since I plan to continue with my current app to eventually immigrate legally. I currently live in Mexico and have for the past 5 years. I currently have a job here but don't have any property or a large bank account or anything of that sort. How likely am I to be eligible for a B-2? I have no outstanding criminal convictions or anything of the sort in the US. While I lived there I was an average contributing citizen.

It is possible for you to apply for B-2 visa, but getting it would be extremely difficult.

[inadmissible]

You are inadmissible to the United States as an alien who was previously ordered deported INA 212(a)(9)(A).

You are possibly also inadmissible as an alien who was unlawfully present in the United States INA 212(a)(9)(B).

Waivers are available for both grounds of inadmissibility, but you have alot of learning to do to win such a waiver.

Demonstrating non-immigrant intent by clear and convincing evidence INA 214(b) is the least of your problems.
