Answer
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
