Tourist visa denied!

[Lililand 5]

We're applying for K1 visa... I submitted all the paperwork and we're waiting for our NOA2... But my fiance has applied for a tourist visa to come visit me 5 times in the past 6 months and it got denied every single time... Will this be an issue for our K1 application?

Assuming that they were denied on the basic of not being able to demonstrate enough ties to home country, then they will have no effect on your K-1 application.

Basically, the consulate is afraid that your fiancé is going to the US on tourist visa and will never come back and told her to wait for the right visa to be issued ( K-1)

Of course, there are also other reasons that make a person inadmissible to the USA such as drugs, criminal records and such. If she was not denied because of this then she you got nothing to worry about.

Take whatever I say with a Grain of Salt.

Your Timeline indicates: Petition sent January and NOA1 Approved. That only means they cashed your check and the paperwork was completed properly.

However, you state his tourist visa has been denied repeatedly. There has to be a reason? What is The Reason For Denial ?

Will this be an Issue with your K-1 Petition you ask ? Apparently, even before you Petition was filed he has been denied access to the US. So What is the reason for this ?

Hard to answer mysterious questions without details. Do you agree......

I knew this would be said by Members and rightfuly so. The OP can't really get help if She/He does not provide information on their own. I hate guessing myself.

Were not Mind Readers on VJ.

I will give GandK a plus for his help. But OP read what I wrote and you will get better answers....

[Lililand 5]

Oh, Im sorry... I guess I just assumed everyone would know it was because of not having enough ties to the country... My bad...

But yeah, they don't really tell you WHY they deny your tourist visa, they just tell you it has been denied... And he is not related to drugs or anything illegal, so the ties-to-the-country must be it right?

He wanted to come here to meet my parents =(

I was Denied to take a Picture with Ronald McDonald because I had a BurgurKing hat on.

Americans have a Saying "I don't Buy It"

There is a BIG difference between a Visa and taking a picture with Ronald.

I don't really understand what you're trying to say... Do you not believe what I'm saying or is it something else?

They are Required to give an explaination for Denial. REQUIRED !!!! Not No not again. REQUIRED ! You need to know this answer while waiting for your NAO2. Ask Him again.

They usually do give an explanation but no, Consular Officers are not REQUIRED to give an explanation when denying a visitor visa.

Words of Wisdom I disagree with. There is an Explaination for everything. Show me that Link where it says that and I will agree.

However, lets get back to the OP's question: Will these Denials cause a Problem with our 129-F Petition.????

I GIVE YOU THE FLOOR

You show me yours first, Tim. You may think there SHOULD be such a requirement and I would agree, but you will not be able to show me any such requirement. It's absence, is all that's needed to prove my point. You do not serve the members well when you make up stuff.

Unless the visa denials were for some reason that would also make the applicant ineligible for the visa they now seek, they are mostly meaningless. They can be interpreted to mean that getting to the USA is more important than the relationship but good relationship evidence usually overcomes that concern.

I think you should be nicer to people... Not everyone knows EVERYTHING, that's why we're here...

This is NOT OUR TOPIC. This is for the OP. See the FIRST POST And answer Accordingly.

Fighting with me does not help the OP.

The Question was : Will Denials of Tourist Visa's in the Past affect approval of our K-1 Petition.

AGAIN, THE FLOOR IS YOURS and Please. For the Benefit of the OP

Reality Check. Your NOA2 will Arrive Soon
