i was just wondering if anyone's K-1 Visa got denied and if so did you refile or get married in your spouses country and file for a K-3 Visa, and if so what was the outcome. Me and my fiance have filed we are just waiting for our interview and just had a few unanswered questions. Thanks !

Newman- Well my k1 visa was denied last year after my fiance had his interview July 2011... We received a letter that there was lack of evidence for our relationship... Mind you- I flew with my mom to INdia July, 2010 to get engaged and was there 20 days... And prior to that we had chatted and skyped for 4 months every day.... After our engagment We continued to speak on the phone and skype on a daily basis for minimum of 30 mins and max 2-3 hours....

So when were denied we were told by our lawyers to just go ahead with the marriage. I got married earlier this year and have since filed my I-130 cr-1 and back on the same journey...

My fiance had answered every question correctly and there was plenty of proof... Some people get approved while others don't... So best of luck....And make sure your fiance is aware of your life.... The embassy asked my fiance where I had worked and what I did there and jobs before then. And how much I got paid......

Wish you the best of luck......Maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones and get approved! :dance:

Thank you so much for the information , If you get denied for lack of evidence will they give you a chance to turn in more evidence or do you have to either get married or start your k-1 visa all over again?

It really depends on circumstance and consulate. Some people get a form 221g (Administrative Review/Process) when some documents are missing or an approval can not be given with certainty on the judgement of the CO. If this were the case, those documents/evidence can usually be given to move the case along. If one were flat out denied the K-1 visa, the chances of approval on a second attempt would probably be better if the couple got married and filed the spousal visa. Unless there is a good reason for approval the second time around that can refute the denial from the first K-1 petition, it might be a waste of time, money, and effort to start a second K-1.
