Hey,
I am a US Citizen. My wife is in Pakistan...she currenty hold 5 years multiple entry tourist visa and has visited US couple of times before.

Her I-130 and K-3 visas application are in process/pending. Can she visit US again for 1-2 months on tourist visa while her K-3 is in process.

She will going to stay here for 1-2 months and will go back.

Does anyone has any idea?

Thanks!
 
Yes she 'can' visit. Though you have to bear in mind that there is no way that entry can be guaranteed. There is a possibility that she may be denied entry at POE- so help counter this, make sure your wife is armed with evidence that she is going to return back home and not attempt to AOS on her visa. Having a K3 in the works and obviously a spouse in the US is a major red flag in a POE officers eyes. Though you never know, she may just breeze through POE.
So...yes she 'can' visit....but whether or not she is granted entry is another thing. Just be mentally prepared for a denial.
