They generally aren't that evil laughing.gif . So long as you have no serious criminal background, and you don't have a communicable disease you will do just fine. Stop your fretting try to enjoy the time you have with your new bride and get to looking at the forms and information you will need. The forms aren't much more difficult than a job application.

NikkisPrecious,

Yes, people have been denied a K3 visa. There are a number of things spelled out in the INA that makes a foreigner excludable from the USA, among them a relationship that has been entered into for the purpose of evading US immigration laws.

This does not mean that a married couple is denied the ability to see each other.

Being married to an American does not entitle you to a visa of any kind. It simply gives your wife options on how she might petition on your behalf.

There is always the possibility that you will be denied, for a variety of reasons. As Yodrak says, if they suspect you entered a marriage to obtain a visa, you'll be out. And yes, people have been denied for this reason. Besides immigration fraud, other deal breakers include having previous convictions, serious health issues, undesirabe political activities, and a few more.

If you got married on the spur of the moment, you should have no trouble going home and waiting for a visa like most people here. But if you assumed marriage gave you immunity so you could stay in the States guaranteed, you couldn't be more wrong.

I don't think, US Embassy denies visa to a genuine couple, though they can delay issuing the visa for further investigation. There are some red flags for the Consular Officer which was posted somewhere in this website.
