Does Previous Tourist Visa refusals have an effect on IR1 INTERVIEW

[EnglandsBest 0]

I was twice denied tourist visa under section 214(b) and this is because I have so many family members in the US, I have an interview scheduled and I am curious to know what effect this may have on the outcome. though I mentioned to CO during tourist visa application that I had a wife resident in the US. anybody with past experiences?

Previous denials of a tourist visa will not be a factor in when you interview for an IR-1/CR-1 visa.

[VanessaTony 3,567]

The only reason it would be is if you were denied for criminal reasons, or anything like that. Being refused because they were worried you'll immigrate of course does not affect an immigrant petition because of course you're trying to immigrate.

It will not affect at all.But make sure you remember all Q & A given in your last 2 interviews.Becuase they have all things recorded/typed in their data.Otherwise no worries. Good luck.

A simple denial is nothing to worry about, unless there was some misrepresentation then it could be a big issue

Good luck

My wife was here in GC first time, surrendered it. Then she went for B2 visa just to visit me for 3 weeks, denied 214(b). Now she is trying for second IR1 interview. I should not see any problem.

As Er Neal and Canadian wife told, don't make any misrepresentations and answer everything truthfully.

I'm not so sure. Since I can be a mean person. let me put on my "mean Bob" hat and sit there with you in Ghana at the US consulate, okay?

Yo, Newbie, you wanna immigrate to the US?

Yes, Sire, I do.

Didn't you apply for a visitor's visa? Twice?

Yes, Sire, I did.

Yet we denied your request. Twice. You remember that?

Yes, Sire, I do.

You know why we denied your requests before?

Yes, Sire, I do.

Why's that, boy?

Well, Sire, you assumed I had immigrant intent, would perhaps want to stay in the US.

That's right, son. But you denied that, didn't you?

Yes, Sire, I did.

But now you are dropping your mask, by formally asking for the permission to immigrate to the US, huh?

Yes, Sire, I do.

Well . . . so you were lying to us when you filed your previous applications! We were right . . . you had immigrant intent all along. You know how we call that here?

No, Sire, I do not.

We call that misrepresentation. You know what we do with people who misrepresent themselves or their intent, when explicitly asked about it?

No, Sire, I don't.

We deny their request. Plain and simple. Now get the #### out of my office!

Well, that was fun. Not sayin' it's gonna be like that, but be prepared for a mean-spirited consular officer who might ask you some questions.

Good luck!

ROFLMAO...when they ask me when I cross to go visit..I tell them, at this point I'm visiting...once the process is done..yes I'll be immigrating. They always shut up after that..especially since I've crossed and returned about a dozen times in the last 4.5 months.

lol... mean Bob was kinda right but if it is IR1/CR1 which means is married to USC, I dont know if that application can be turned down.

Even though when they know you have lied in past on your both interview, they will me making sure that this relation is a legit one and was not just done for user to move to US.

They will pull out each and every question out of their hat and make sure the relation is a good faith one.

Well I've always wanted everything American. I went to American school in this school. I love AMerican food. I applied for a tourist visa and was denied twice. I love Americans. That's why I married an American.

Is there a problem, sire?

I dont think it will be a problem. I have been to the US while my petition was pending once and was denied the second time. Finally got my immigrant visa approved. No questions asked regarding the denial. CO just asked me if I had been to the US before, I said yes. Thats it.
