My fiancee has two tourist visa denials in the past on her passport, one of which was 6 months ago. Will this affect our K-1 visa which we are preparing to file for in any way? Will this make the interview more difficult?

Same with my fiance, he had a tourist visa denial in February. Which was super weird because he was in the US last year on a J1 and left before the visa expired. He had NO intentions of staying here he just wanted to see me for 1 month. (and now I know that he was planning to purpose in person too :( )The lady who denied him simply said "Sorry, I encourage you TO TRY again. But I will not be giving you a visa today". And just like that. I have not seen my fiance in 9 months. :( I hope this lady knows how much her "decision" impacted us and our lives ...ahh :ot:

:ot2: We just sent our petition in on April 19th... and I've read in some forums that his tourist visa denial should not influence the interview or the process and I am PRAYING that this is true!

If anyone knows from experience though it would be very reassuring to hear your story.

Hello:

Dont worry. That happened to me too in the past. I was denied a tourist visa and I got approved my K1 fiance visa.

Now I'm here and very happy with my husband.

Just keep all the evidence possible. Do you have your engagement ring receipt?? Lots of pictures together, phone bills that can show them that numbers, letters and boarding passes.

Good luck and Dont worry!!!!!!!!!

Priscilla.

It shouldn't affect the K1 as long as it the reason it was denied was just your standard - like they feared that he was intending to immigrate. As long as it wasn't for a misrepresentation or something he should be fine! My husband was twice denied a student visa and was approved for the K1 with no problems :)
