My fiancé is green-card holder, eligible for

citizenship next year. After marriage, can I enter
US for sometime, after applying for my green-
card if I already have B1/B2 visa?

In theory, yes you can. All you have to do is convince

the CBP officer, when you arrive, that you are visiting
for only a short time and then will go home again to wait
for the immigration process later.

Why don’t some visa officers even take a look at

the applicant’s paperwork, but just deny him the
visa after just 2 questions?
Originally Answered: Why don’t some visa officers even take a look

If you are asking about US visas, then as I and others

have already answered here many, many times, there is
no ‘paperwork’ required for any nonimmigrant visa
except that which is specified, such as a valid I-20 form
for a student visa.

Documents such as invitations from friends or relatives

in the US, guarantees from those individuals that they
will feed and house you, bank and property statements,
and any other paperwork, is not needed or wanted. If
they are even valid (many are counterfeits and
forgeries, and not even very skillful ones) such
documents are not legally enforceable and there are, of
course, such things as international money transfers:
it’s not like a visa applicant would have to go back
home to obtain his own money. And most property
claims are for land or buildings owned by the entire
family.

Every visa applicants just needs more than one very

good reason to travel to the US now, and more than one
to leave again. The more the papers, the worse the
case, in many cases.
