Thank you. I wonder for those on Fiancee visa, how being married before arriving to USA will lead to denial, maybe because the USCIS asks them to marry within two months after arrival to US, still not convenient for these poor couples who want to start their life together.

 

No, the thread we are talking about is the guy was Approved for a K1 Fiance visa, and then he was coming into the USA and decided that the would just have a nonchalant arrogant attitude. The Customs Officer asked him if he was going to get married on this visa(fiance visa) and he replied back arrogantly "If I get married I get married, If I don't get married then I don't". He was then denied entry into the USA under that pretense and was then astonished and wondered why on here.

Criminal issues you have a waiver for will not affect entry, but if there is anything you did not declare, or that happened/ you were sentnced for after the visa was granted then yes,

 

Yes, mistakes on the visa can cause issues, even small ones. I remember someone on here who got denied because the visa said Steve and the passport Steven,

 

While these things do happen, denial at the port of entry are rare.  What exactly are you worried about?

 

I had an employee a few years ago that came to the US with a B1/B2 visa and he was asked to go to secondary. Then they asked him if he had a sex change surgery. The consulate had wrongly put FEMALE on his visa... They allowed him to enter, but told him he would need to get a new visa.

Would criminal records affect US Border Control Officers decision even if it was approved during Consulate interview or the Waiver?

 

Why would you wonder?  A fiance visa is for someone entering the US to be married within 90 days...not 2 months.  A K-1, or fiance visa is for unmarried persons only.  It's very easy to understand.  Hence the name "fiance visa".

Who will be thinking, first in make a joke with something that serious as that, and second be joking with a US Border Control Officer!!!!

You have to show respect, and manners to the officer, be correctly dressed ...

So many things.... i was astonished when I read this!!! Really!

The USC was in his defense saying it was a cultural misunderstanding.

It will lead to denial because it's a visa fraud. Fiancee visa means that you HAVE TO (it's not optional) marry in the USA - within 90 days of arrival. If you marry in some other country, after you receive the fiancee visa then that wedding makes the visa invalid. Some people might get lucky and somehow slip through the border while married on this visa, but during the adjustment of status they will probably be denied their green card. Since USCIS isn't that stupid and will know that the couple married outside of the USA.

Wow
