Can I get a B1/B2 visa if I have a pending Green Card application?

It's very difficult to get a B1/B2 visa with a pending Green Card application because:

• B1/B2 requires non-immigrant intent
• Green Card application shows immigrant intent
• Consular officers will likely deny the visa

Exceptions:

• If you have a valid reason for temporary visit
• If you can prove you will return after visit
• Consider applying for Advance Parole instead
