We are currently waiting on the CR1 visa however my company wants me to travel for 1 week for business. Can I apply for a business visa while waiting. I also may add that I used to have a tourist visa but 7 months ago I was trying to visit my now husband and I was deny at POE and it was cancelled. I applied again to try and visit him and it was denied.

It would depend upon the type of visa you would apply for. An H-1B or L-1 visa could be approved as both allow for dual immigrant and nonimmigrant intent. A B-1 visa would likely be denied as it is a nonimmigrant visa. It is clear that the U.S. Government believes you have immigrant intent given you wee oreviously debied entry and had your visa cancelled and a subsequent application was denied.
