Tourist Visa chances from refused CR1

 Share

Hello,

My CR1 petition was refused last October 17 2016 at the USEM. My husband is here now in the PI wanting me to apply for a tourist visa while waiting for my civil annulment. What are my chances of getting one? Would it be possible for me to apply for a tourist visit while just had the cr1 route last October? :clock:

Thanks!

Well yeah, the process has already finished CR1 route denied (because USEM did not honor my sharia divorce with my ex) plus our three children under CR2. We can't refile yet as we just started our civil annulment which takes years to finish.

As far as honesty is concerned, our children will continue with school and we will hold off the migration part. Hubby just wants me to travel and stay with him for a month. I do have work and house here in PI (plus children) as proof of ties.

Your odds are slim to none. But the CO's in Manila will have the final say, it only cost $160 (or used to be the cost) to find out.

Have to agree... most people wait at least 6 months before attempting to even re-apply for another tourist visa... with denied CR-1 and so quickly... It's slim chance but you won't know unless you try. Good luck.

Thanks for the advice. Husband will be accompanying me for the interview in case we decide to push through :/

As others stated, B2 chances after a denied CR1 are close to nil. Kids are not strong ties, as other Phils women have left kids behind and migrated to the US in recent times.

Oh, and spouses are not allowed to accompany B2 applicants in the embassy.
