You are not eligible. You can try, but you will have to declare about the immigrant petition in the DS-156. Once thats is seen, they will deny.

Hi ,

I too applied for a visitor visa while my I-130 was pending. My purpose was to attend my husband's graduation but they rejected bcz i was considered an intended immigrant bcz of I 130.

But i have heard of some people who have got the chance to visit while immigrant petitions pending. i think it depends on the strength of proof u can show regarding ur return to ur home country. in my case i didnt have any as i only had five months to wait for the I 130 to get approved (depending on the time line) so i was basically ready to permanently migrate too. like resinged from my job etc. so when i really wanted to visit for the graduation i didnt have any proof of coming back though i honestly intended to return to get the K-3.

i think u can give it a try if u can present a strong case. senior members will tell if im wrong. im just telling u what i have heard in forums like this.

good luck to you.
