Denial of K-1.

[LuckyHelen 0]

I am from Ukraine. I got denial of the visa of K-1 the day before yesterday at interview. 
Explanations: my fiance petitioned on the former wife 7 years back, they officially divorced in January, 2009. And our relations began in February the last year. His former wife lives to one address with him, it did not please a consul and he drew conclusion, that they live together. Yes, one address, but there are a few apartments in this house, and they live in different apartments. This house is my fiance ownness. They did not divorce because they do not need it it was, but every lived by own life a long ago, and she has already other man which going to get married her. I was not able it to explain it. A consul said that his wife is not American, began to ask me as they met, I did not have been able to answer, I did not know, and  I said that he met her with his friend, but he said that they met also as I with him in Internet. Probably, he thinks that I want to leave to America and paid the fiance of money. It is not truth.

What can we do - to try it to explain and how? Or to conclude marriage in Ukraine and do the visa of K-3?

Drastvootye!

Please be sure in your own mind this man is sincere. I say nothing bad, only it can be difficult for you so far away and not able to visit to be sure of his intentions. Yes, many people that have been denied K-1 visas have gotten married elsewhere and filed for a K-3 with success, but it is not a gaurantee by any means.

Good luck

Oh, this sucks... I guess a marriage and then K-3/CR-1 is the way to go now...

Unless you can overcome the reason for the first refusal, it is likely to follow you to the spousal visa as well...

I did not understand. Can you explain anymore? Thank you!

[payxibka 10,045]

Their was a reason why the visa was refused... if you cannot adequately explain the situation or convince the CO that what he believed is not accurate and that you do have a real relationship, otherwise they will simply deny any future visa application again for the exact same reason

Sorry to hear of this LuckyHelen. I would try and have your US partner get in touch with the Embassy and try to explain this situation! What did denial papers say that you were given? Do they not believe then that yours is a bona fide relationship because she lives in the same "building" or "house" as her former husband which is your now fiance? They're divorced. Does the Embassy know that he owns the building?

I suppose that getting married and going the K-3 route could be an option, but usually it's a good idea to address the reasons why you were denied the first time. So...you get married, but the same things apply...he owns the building which has an address that his first wife still rents from and so shows the same address.

I'd see if first there is a way to refute the decision the Embassy has made already, then make sure all your ducks are in a row when or if you petition again addressing all the concerns the Embassy may have. It might be a good idea as well to have your then husband with you at the interview to answer any questions (if he can attend of course).

Obviously your fiance and you need to rehearse how you will answer these questions again; so that you will know how to tell the story better. Also you two should build upon your relationship so you can bring more proof of a bonafide relationship to the next interview. He obviously did not prepare you well for this last interview. Sorry about that. He needs to provide better proof of her not living at the same location, she should have a different apartment number than he or something. I trust that he is being truthful to you.

If your fiance was officially divorced in January 2009, when did you file the petition for the visa? Just to be clear, as you don't have a timeline, you filed the petition after your fiance's divorce was final, yes? I do recall seeing cases where that detail has slipped through USCIS. That would be a legitimate reason for denial.

I think carlawalla gives good advice, have your fiance talk to the embassy and if you have issues getting them to listen, get a congressman or senator involved in your case.
