Yes, it may trigger “immigrant intent” issues if not disclosed properly.

B1/B2 visas are for temporary stays — green card intent conflicts with that.

If your green card is still pending, you may be denied entry on a tourist visa.

Rightly said.


Applying for a green card can negatively affect your chances of obtaining a tourist (B-1/B-2) visa because it shows immigrant intent, which conflicts with the non-immigrant purpose of a tourist visa.

Pending green card petitions often lead to increased scrutiny and possible visa denial.
