My sister is a US Citizen and she'd like to sponsor me for a GC. While my priority date isn't current yet, will I have any problems entering the US or even getting a non-immigrant visa? I have been going to the US all of my life, lived legally in the country for 5 years, have since entered the country countless times and never overstayed or had any problems with immigration law or any other laws whatsoever... Do you guys think I can have any problems at the border?? Thanks for your help.

It bears a negative impact on the issuance of a B-1 B-2 visa and entry as for those classes a immigrant intent is not favorable unlike L or H visas for example that allow a immigrant intent, given your circumstance with extensive positive travel history it might be overlooked, and because of that history you might be able to convince the Consular officer or agents at POE that you will follow and use your non immigrant visa pursuant to applicable laws.

Get the visa and enter the US before she files the I-130, then have her file it while you are still in the US, and make sure consular processing is selected on the I-130. Then leave the US before your I-94 expires. The next time you visit the US, if hassled you can point out that you already were in the US when the I-130 was pending but you left anyway.
