A CO will consider the totality of the circumstances; for example, how long have you known your fiance, how many times has he come to see you, how often you communicate, etc.

I or anyone else cannot predict the outcome of any interview. The best thing you can do is have plenty of evidence to show a genuine relationship.

nice advice and sorry for me repeating comments, i got crappy internet.. heheehe.. take note the first person who sponsored me for my j1 is not my fiance. when my j1 visa was denied last year my fiance said he will file k1 for me so i can come and be with him.. i hope i can pass the interview cause i want to be with him so bad

No worries. You did nothing wrong and were merely denied those previous visa attempts. You WILL have to bring evidence that you have a legitimate relationship with the intention of marrying and staying married.

thanks, i think i can prove them that i got genuine relationship with my fiance now.. maybe i dont have to worry much cause really we are qualified for k1 visa, he reached poverty guidelines, we got everything like evidence he came to visit me, we got tons of email and phonecalls, he is calling me everyday, he is sending me money every two weeks during his payday so i got tons of money transfer receipt.. we met last year march.. we got lots of photos together and with my family so really we are qualify

do not volunteer any information about it unless they ask :thumbs:

They do ask. Question #31 on the DS-156 form: "Have you ever been refused a U.S. visa? When? Where? What type of visa?"

To the OP: Answer truthfully and despair not: many successful K-1 applicants before you had been denied previously for visitor/exchange visas.

Improved USCIS Form G-325A (Biographic Information)

Form field input font changed to allow entry of dates in the specified format and to provide more space for addresses and employment history. This is the 6/12/09 version of the form; the current version is 8/8/11, but previous versions are accepted per the USCIS forms page.

He wasn't asked about the denied visas. It did come up in the interview but only because the CO asked if he had met my family and he said no - I wasn't able to because i couldn't get a tourist visa. The CO then said " oh I see. Well, they probably did the right thing by denying the tourist visa" and then said Congratulations and approved our K1.
