Answer: I apologize, but I don’t quite understand your question! You state: • “Application was made for the green card by US citizen” o Why would a US citizen apply for a green card? • “can applicant apply for visitor visa to visit USA . .” o Why would US citizen need a visitor visa for USA

Green card applicant traveling to USA on visitor visa while application pending

If your question is whether a person who has been sponsored for a Green Card by a US citizen, can get a US Visitor visa while the green card application is being processed, then in such cases it is generally very difficult to get visitor visa where green card application is pending. When faster entry to USA is required, then getting a visitor visa before green card sponsorship is done may be an alternative. Once the applicant arrives in USA, then green card application can be made.
