my wife has applied for a immigration application for me. it's in process. but can i apply for a visit visa while my immigration application is showing IN PROCESS status?
Yes, you can apply for visitors visa, tell them that X-mas is coming and you really want to spend holidays with your wife, they will understand, just prove some evidence ( flight tickets both ways) that you are not gonna disappear once you get there.
Thats a private affair between you 2...Happy Bithday to her and congratulations to both of you. May God bless you both with a happy,prosperus and long life. Amin
Its very nice of you But you better let her know beforehand.
Anyhow,for visitors visa you need letter of invitation, provide info where you tend to stay and so on.
If you know some other people who could you invite to CA, you may ask them and then it really could be a surprise to her if you show up unexpected on 11th of Nov.
BUT...visa issuer might find it very suspicious that you are going to CA,married with a citizen, but somebody else is inviting you.
