Ok, so about two years ago, we started the fiance visa process. I (US citizen) ended up moving to my fiance's country while the papers were being processed. Everything went fine and much to our surprise the process went a lot faster than expected. We got called for an interview, but felt that we weren't ready to go to the US yet. We filled out some papers at the US embassy and they said that our interview would be pushed back some months and they would contact us then. Well...they never did. And due to some other circumstances, we never went back to the embassy to find out what happened.

Can we still reapply? I realize most likely we will have to start from the beginning, but does letting our first application go have any affect on applying again? I'm scared they could think we are not serious about being together, but at least we have evidence of living together the last two years.

Also, my fiance and I would like to visit the states for the summer, but I'm not sure if the whole fiance visa thing will affect his ability to be approved for a tourist visa.

Any help would be appreciated. :)

You stated that they told you they would contact you when a new interview has been scheduled and never did. That being said I would contact them, explain the situation and that you were never contacted with a new interview date and ask if one has been scheduled. If not schedule one. In the case their was some type of error, starting over is a possibility. I highly recomend calling them before taking any further action.

You need to contact USCIS and find out about your case. Since a tourist visa is only given to individuals who have strong economic and family basis in their country (so they are not trying to stay in the US illegaly), I think the K-1 visa will affect your fiance's chances. My take is that the embassy MIGHT think that he is going to stay with you in the US and marry you there, so he can stay longer. I could be wrong. All I know is that the embassy in Lima is very particular about giving tourist visas.

Your previous petition is dead. The consulate can extend the approval of the petition for up to a year, but (according to your timeline) that period expired at the end of 2010.

You can apply again. Since the previous petition just expired, and wasn't terminated for cause, it shouldn't have any affect on a new petition.

It's very unlikely they would approve a tourist visa. The beneficiary's intent to immigrate will be strongly suspected. They prefer that intending immigrants enter the US with the proper type of visa.

12/15/2009 - K1 Visa Interview - APPROVED!

12/29/2009 - Married in Oakland, CA!

08/18/2010 - AOS Interview - APPROVED!

05/01/2013 - Removal of Conditions - APPROVED!

If you're planning on getting married in Peru anyway, you could wait it out and do the DCF for the I-130 through the embassy there. You won't have to go through the extra hassle of the Adjustment of Status process then, and your future hubby (or hubby) will have his greencard & authorization to work immediately.

I totally agree with you. The OP already lives in Peru. I think it makes more sense to get married in Peru and files for the I-130
