Visiting us under VWP after i-130 approval.

[EnVee]

Hi Guys,

I'm in a bit of a precarious situation and need a bit of advice.

My wife is a united states citizen, married here in Australia. We plan on immigrating to the US and have started the procedure, the I-130 has been approved and we are yet to start the IV (however, some of the IV fees have been paid). We plan on having a bit of a trip to the US, in which my wife will stay in the US and I will return back before the 90 days are up.

I plan on having as much proof that I intend to return to Australia as possible, such as a letter from my employer, return flights, proof of open bank accounts, and phone bills. As I live with my parents, I don't have any rental agreements or mortgage payments to use as proof.

My wife seems to think that we will be absolutely fine, but I am scared beyond belief that I will be refused entry and we will be split up (and given her anxiety problems, I fear that she may even be in such a panic that would leave her stranded at LAX).

Am I too paranoid? Or will things be OK?

You will be fine, most people who gets married out of country are not living together until immigration process gets completed. You will be receiving CONDITIONAL greencard which you will need to renew after 2 years, AT (after 2 yrs) that time, you want to make sure you can show that you and your wife are living together since you entered the United States. It's okay if you travel due to family/business while living permanently with your wife in the US.
