I am US citizen residing in California and recently submitted an immigrant petition (I-130) for my wife on Dec 2008 @ CSC. My wife is a malaysian citizen and I have requested consular processing at the time of application.
Prior to December 2008, she was an F1 visa student at a local college here in California. Due to medical reasons, she decided to terminate her college programme and seek treatment in Malaysia while waiting for the immigrant petition to be approved & visa processed in malaysia. She has maintained a lawful F1 student status in the US.
The question I have is :-
1) After my wife has recuperated, is she allowed to visit me for several weeks on a tourist visa even though she has a pending immigrant visa petition in the works ? We are not considering the K3 visa at this time since we anticipate she'll need to be in malaysia for some time to complete her treatment.
Thank you
