applying for a K1 with a previous visa cancelled

[argie 0]

Hi everyone my name is Victoria i am from Argentina, my fiance is american and i am looking for a little advice in this long and compicated process!!. i met my fiance almost four years ago in the states with a j1 visa. After that i kept going back and forth with a tourist visa. Last january when i was trying to go see him again i got sent back from atlanta back to Buenos Aires and they cancelled my tourist visa. I wasn't deported they gave me a "WITHDRAWAL OF APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION" since they said i was living in the us and not in my country and they suspected i had a nanny bussines. I never stayed longer than my I94 said and i did not work as a nanny!!. Worst day in my life by far, i hope nobody ever has to go through that humiliating process.

Anyways, does anybody knows someone who has been approved for a K1 visa after having a visa cancelled?? Any similar experience will help understand everything a little better. THANKS!

Hi Victoria!

It seems like we have something in common! I am probably not going to give you any smart advice or conclusion on that but at least we can share each others news.I have also been in the US for J1 visa for 2 years (i extended the second one)and found an american bf.After my time as an au pair was over i needed to come back home to Czech rep. and applied for visa waiver (it was easier and faster for me at that time than to apply for a tourist visa).The first time i visited US on the visa waiver was from october to december and than from january to april...i never overstayed or anything but i realized the more frequently i keep coming back and forth i will be suspicious even though i never had any troubles with immigration.So we decided to apply for student visa for me.Did cost us money,time,nerves and the visa was denied two months ago The reason (from what they said)was that it looked as if i was living in the US and not back home and also their main concern was why i didnt go home to extend my J1 visa but did it in the US.It was the standard process and i only did what my LCC told me....oh well...! I was told to try again,how funny! Now my bf and i are applying for the K1,trying to put the I-129f packet together.I learned that applying for the K1 with a previous visa denied is usually not an issue.I myself was told my the consul at the embassy to come when my situation changes and apply again.There are exceptions on everyting and i dont know how serious your "withdrawal of application for admission" is what consequences it may have but i will cross fingers and wish you good luck!Hope this helps at least a little bit Lenka

Hi Lenka! thank you very much for sharing your experience with me. I was told by the agent in Atlanta that this shouldn't mean i wasn't going to be able to get the right visa, so hopefully it will work out, for both of us!

Let me know if you need any help with your I 129f. Keep me posted with any news.

Lots of luck for you too!

Vic

Your revoked tourist visa shouldn't have any effect on your K1 visa application. You were denied entry because the CBP officer had a suspicion, and used his discretionary authority to deny entry. There were no firm grounds of inadmissibility. If there were, you would not have been offered the opportunity to withdraw your application for admission.

They may ask you about this at the interview. Just be honest. It isn't a problem.

Thanks Jim,that is what i was hoping for i had my F1 student visa denied not tourist but i think,at the end of the day it should not make any difference.I count on them asking me about the previous visa denial and i am ready for that.not speaking of the tons of evidence that my fiancee and I can provide when it comes to our relationship

Thank you again. Congrats on your wedding.
