Wife did not make it past homeland and got k-1 cancelled

[Rebecca Jo 1,962]

Everyone gets questioned / interview at airport – severity of the interview depends from case to case and person to person.

You need to provide little more detail about as what the conversation was, what were the questions and what were the answers.

Just officer by himself cannot put someone back on the flight and cancel a visa, it has to go to chief immigration officer on duty at that time and his approval is required.

Um. Yes an officer can.

I was taken into a room and made to wait for a long time. I was asked a few questions about when I would get married etc, I don't remember there being any questions about what my husbands house looked like though? I suppose we will have to wait for her to reach her home country before we can find out.

Absolutely you are right some ppl get pulled in the secondary some just get asked few questions right there by officer.

That call is made by officer based on his observation and feeling about the candidate.

[Harsh_77 716]

Yes officer would, but he has to check with his superior before they make that call.

He will not directly send someone from line back to the plane, they take them to secondary do further questioning, document all that get an input from their supervisor and than cancel the visa and put someone back on the plane.

Yeah, I've been in secondary 4 or 5 times, it's horrible. I've had my suitcases torn apart too. It's all pretty scary, even when you know you aren't doing anything wrong. Can't imagine how scary it was for someone who doesn't speak much english, poor girl.

I've only heard of two previous situations where the alien with a K1 in passport was not admitted.

Once was for a crime that showed on the police report that the consulate had overlooked.

The second was a turn-around for a man who called his fiance his "wife".

Takis kinda into something here,

Here's a good question, ON the post itself you mentioned WIFE didn't make it past homeland and K-1 Got cancelled.

Maybe it's a Typo did you mean Fiance.

If you guys are already married and she came in as a K1 that would be using the wrong kinda visa, maybe it's just a typo on part, hopefully you can get some more info from your FIANCEE as to what happened.

Good luck

is it your wife?? or fiance? kinda get confused? :blink:

OK, I'll buy that at least two of them need to approve a turn-around.

Yes, absolutely right. There are times Immigration officer are tricky and strict. I was lucky, the officer was in the mood, I just have to wait for an officer to interview me while I was in the airport. Other than that, there are some questioning regarding on documents in hand, and everything went alright.

I think she was misunderstood (since English is not as good, according to OP) and immigration officer didn't bother to repeat the question...

[Rebecca Jo 1,962]

We may never know the outcome.

OP has a short post history.

If she referred to you as her husband then that might have set off a red flag, seeing as u said she isnt so fluent in English. so sorry that happened to her

Boarder control has the final say in who comes into this country, and they can and do interview anyone they wish. They check the paperwork for things that USCIS or DOS may have missed that would make you inadmissible.

This sounds like a horror story. Having your fiancee right there, at the airport, with a proper visa, after months of waiting, just to learn she's being sent back home. My deepest sympathy.

Now, as to the problems at the POE, it is to my understanding, that K-1 holders very, very rarely have any problems at the border, not to mention being denied entry altogether. Possible reasons:

1. The OP was already married at the time of K-1 entry, in which case entering on K-1 would be against the law.

2. There is more to this story than meets the eye. Maybe the IO at the POE found a reason for inadmissibility that we don't know about, yet. Hence, he denied entry. I find it hardly unlikely to be scrutinly questioned about some details regarding the petitioner's house without a valid reason, especially when it comes to immigrants from countries such as South Korea.

3. We're dealing with a troll.

Sorry I'm confused.

When my fiance (now husband) was coming here on a K-l and we had a few issues (luckily nothing to that extent), I

e-mailed the embassy for guidance on what step to take next (he was from Peru though). But they did e-mail back in a few days with helpful information. They seem to be much more helpful online than on the phone.

Note: I dont know as much about all the processes as a lot of people on here, so if anyone disagrees with trying this please say so. I dont want to do more harm than good.

Best of luck to you.
