Will denial of Visiting visa affect my K1?

[BigCityDave 0]

Hey everyone,

In September of 2007 my Fiancee was denied a Visiting visa.

Is that going to affect us and our K1 visa? (Her Visa)

Thanks

The prior denial of a B1/B2 has no effect on the current process to obtain K-1.

Just make sure that when filing the DS-156 (for the interview) your fiance lists her prior visa denials and dates.

I talked to an immigration lawyer about this one, cause we were going to apply for a tourist visa so my fiance could meet my family, and he said NO a denail will NOT affect your K1 visa, as long as you were honest in the interview about your intentions to marry.

Thanks for the quick replies. You just helped calm a fellow VJer down from going into panic mode.

Mmmmmm. When i was in Canada in 2006. I was going to visit the States by car. They wouldnt let me in and turned me away back to Canada, reason was, i didnt have a return ticket. They didnt stamp my passport. Will i have to explain that for when we file the K1

Yes I believe you will. I know my fiancee needs to state what happened in her denial.

No, DS-156 (Visa application that needs to be filled out for the interview stage) only asks to list pror visa denials and you were denied entry but you were not denied a visa.

I don't think you should explain it, unless you are directly asked about it entry denials at the interview, which I doubt they ask.

Was your fiance denied a tourist visa or was she denied entry at the POE?

I just dont want to hide anything from them. In case they ask me why i never mentioned this before.

[eric_and_teresa 10]

Well, if they ask you "Why you never mentioned it before?" (Which I doubt) You can answer that you never said, because you were never asked. I don't remember if there is such question on any other form. So you really have no opportunity to give that info. unless you are directly asked about it.

Does anyone know if there is a problem applying for a B1/B2 in the middle of a 129F K1 Application? With the long and unpredictable times coming out of CSC, I would like to try to get her a B1/B2 out of the Manila Embassy to visit for a while while waiting for the K1. What is the process for processing a B1/B2? Does it still have to go through the same channels??? Time for a B1/B2?? ANy help would be appreciated!

Tourist.

My fiancee tried to get a tourist visa last year and was denied. On one of the forms (DS-156K) there is a question about previous visa denials. We listed it and at the interview the consular asked her and she said she wanted to come visit me, meet my family, and see if she would like NY. He said "OK" and moved on, no big deal.

I was denied entry twice- I wrote both denials on my forms and I was asked about them at my K3 interview. It didn't seem to be a big deal to the interviewer- when I told him it was "lack of ties to Canada", he giggled and said "yup, it happens often." I got my visa.
