Issue with DS-156 on B2 form, filing for K1

[jkrg 0]

Hello,

My fiancee and I are planning on filing a K1. We previously filed a B2, which was denied due to inability to prove ties to her homeland (Thailand). On the DS-156 for her B2, she indicated in June that she still had a job that she actually left in late march/early april. I just found out about this. Is this going to cause us any problems at any point in the K1 process?

was this fact discussed with her at the time of refusal? I assume that the refusal was as you indicated (lack of ties) and not for any misrepresentation as the outcomes could be very different.... Lack of ties will have no effect on a future K-1, a finding of misrepresentation will....

The refusal was for lack of ties. However, will they reference the forms for the B2 when processing/handling the K1 forms at the embassy?

Have you filed the I-129F? If not, just make sure that you indicate on the G-325a the fact that she no longer has that previous job. Why would she state that she still had a job, when she didn't? I would be careful to fill out all immigration/visa forms with complete honesty. Mis-stating facts can come back and bite you in the a$$ sooner or later.

We did fill out the I-129F, and we have all the correct info on there. She claims she stated that she still had a job even though she didn't because she thought she wouldn't get the tourist visa otherwise. I told her a million times to be honest on the forms because I didn't want to wind up in this situation, but here we are. I'm fuming and I agree with you 100%, trust me. arrgh!

Unfortunately, you cannot be sure that the consulate will not cross-check previous visa applications. They may not, but then there is that small question on the visa application that asks the applicant to disclose if they've ever been refused a visa before. Since to answer that question, you must disclose the previous B2 visa application & refusal...there is no way to tell for sure that before the K-1 visa interview the previous tourist application is not looked as a part of 'crossing Ts and dotting Is'.

Seriously though....why would she have thought she'd be approved for a tourist visa if she did not have a job? If you haven't already done so, please stress to her that it can be severely counter productive to not state the complete truth during this process.

good luck,

I thought providing an I-134 would be enough to get her a tourist visa since she was between jobs. She apparently took it upon herself to fudge the application. I've stressed to her on numerous occasions that she needs to be honest on these things. I made sure she heard how angry I am about doing this when I recently found out.

Well, she did what she did. No one can change that. You need to be completely honest with your answers. Most likely they will see her B2 was denied for lack of ties and that will be no problem. Sonce there was no finding of misrepresentation and no visa was issued, I do not think it would be an issue. There is one way to find out...file the I-129f. What's your option? NOT file the I-129f.

You thought wrong and a common misconception... The alien must meet the requirements of the visa on there own WITHOUT any assistance from a USC
