Hi everyone...

My fiancee is currently in the air and on her way. VERY EXCITING!

The one thing that looms over my head is something I read a while back when beginning this process...that a K1 visa holder can still be denied at entry.

I'm guessing it must be rare, but does anyone know of the main reasons for this? I would just like to be prepared in case I need to fight tooth and nail to get her in here.

Thanks :-)

Nino

Our time line for CR1 visa took only 5 months and 1 week or 156 days; from the filing the I-130 on the 03-12-2009 to Approval of NOA2 on the 05/13/2009, then Interview on the 08/18/2009 at Manila, Philippines. We had a daughter on the 11-12-2010 named AISHA JOY means HAPPY LIFE.a1_opt-1.jpga2_opt-1.jpga3_opt-1.jpg

I was denied entry twice due to lack of ties to Canada. It can happen and the USC is powerless to change the decision once it has been made.

Chin up, I am sure it will be fine

Keep us posted.

Good luck.

I have not heard of anyone holding a K-1 visa being denied entry. If there were problems she would not have been issued the visa. Don't worry - I am sure she will be fine and in your arms soon.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

Shoot, missed the fact she was coming on a K-1 :bonk: Thanks Kathryn for clearning that up.

Totally fine, she'll be here soon. Like wise Kathryn said, if there was a problem, she wouldn't have been issued the visa

Nope, not paranoid. Just confirming that it's rare...that's all.

She will be arriving in San Francisco, CA

Thanks everyone for the replies! I just wanted to confirm it was rare...that's what I thought initially and now it seems confirmed.

There are so many nuances to this process, it's better safe than sorry.

Good luck to everyone during their process!

Dash of cold water.

Every visa holder is subject to entry requirements. Every one of them. No matter which visa you have. K-1, H-1B, etc.. can be denied - up to the CBP.

With that said, since every person coming here is assumed to be an immigrant (and that triggers most denials because they give CBP the wrong answers), people with a visa that intends for them to immigrate (K_1) do not have to worry about this type of denial.

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

WARNING: Phrases in this post may sound meaner than they were intended to be. Read the Adjudicator's Field Manual from USCIS

Doesn't a K-1 (or any other) visa holder have legal recourse though, if CBP say 'no', to have their case heard by a judge before being sent back? I know this is one of the rights waived by people flying in under the VWP so presumably visa holders have that right?
