Immignt getting rejected in LAX

[Lovemycroatianman 278]

Hello, I just submitted my K1 visa for my fiance in Croatia and then I see the a Croatian lady was deported back to Paris on a tourist visa....and I'm reading they are making people surrender their visas....should I be worried...I mean if they are gonna do that then whats the point of even doing this and taking our money like we can get a visa? I mean other than the obvious of getting the money....

There are legitimate reasons for people being rejected or having their visas stripped. They are either trying to violate the terms of the visa, are found ineligible for entry to the US, lied to immigrations, were found to possibly be trying to immigrate using a tourist visa.. there are a lot of various reasons.

 

The whole point of a K-1, which is a nonimmigrant visa but with dual intent, is to immigrate to the US. It is rare that I am aware of that a K-1 visa holder is turned away at a POE, unless again they are trying to bring something into the US perhaps they shouldn't or are acting super sketchy/suspicious during the entry process; but again rare these days.

 

So this "fear" or "worry" you have, should just take a deep breathe and relax.

It's irrelevant. There is currently no directive against Croatia or the K-1 Visa program.

This is true but just the end of jan if you read the news the held a bunch of people coming  on various visas and even made a Croatian lady coming from paris on a tourist visa return to paris...and croatia isnt on the list....did you see then news about the protest and attorneys trying to help at lax ...how can that be irrelevant? At this point they are overstepping their rights to hold people people and make them surrender their visas...

Yes, it's possible that either a new EO is signed that affects you somehow, or that somebody goes against the norm and is otherwise gives you as hard time when entering on a K-1. However, trying to guess what will or won't happen based on worries is not a practical approach to the issue. There's nothing currently affecting K-1 visas as a class, or anybody from Croatia coming through legal means with a proper immigrant-intent-permitted visa.

 

Take a few breaths and relax. The sky is not falling. You'll be fine.

If you're worried about LAX then perhaps you could have your fiancé fly into another airport and then catch a connecting flight to LAX? Domestic flyers don't encounter immigration officers.
