Hello ,

I need a little bit of clarification in a matter would would appreciate any response .

In September 05 , i applied for and got a tourist visa ( valid for 2 years ) to the US . 2 weeks later , i got an immigrant visa DV2 ( my wife was issued DV1 ). My visa has an annotation that it is only valid if accompanied or FTJ ( following to join ) spouse .

Due to work constraints , my wife is unable to travel until early January 06 - the DV visas are valid until April 06 . However , i need to travel to the US within the next couple of weeks . So my question is , can i still enter the US with my B1/B2 visa , or the IO can compel me to use the DV2 and since not accompanied by my wife , refuse me entry ?

Thanks

If you enter as a visitor after having been granted Permanent Residency you could be charged with an illegal entry or worse visa fraud. When one enters on a visitor visa they are claiming that they do not have an intent to immigrate

Whatever you have to do in the U.S. should wait until you can enter on the DV/2 or you could find yourself up to your eye***** in sh**

Thanks . I just wanted to attend a conference and then leave . ut i undertand your point .

Kind Regards
