My fiancée would love to visit me in February for two weeks but I'm sure it would be next to impossible for a tourist visa to be approved considering he

is middle eastern and 26 ?? Does anyone know if our having filed for the K1 visa would make it easier or harder for him to get a tourist visa ?

Does anyone knows it would help if I sent a letter to the consulate , like an invitation letter , explaining we are in the K1process and he would be returning to graduate by summer and hopefully be eventually approved so we can be married ??

I have been to Jordan 4 times since October 2011 and I can't keep making this journey - I would love for him to visit

Any advice would be so appreciated !

Welcome to the forum.

You ask a very, very frequent question. Please refer to the sticky at the top of this forum page, "Yes You Can Visit," for more information.

We faced the same issue this past year. In our case, we finally determined it wasn't worth the grief, the K-1 process caused us enough stress. I kept visiting her in China (four times).

YMMV.

Good luck on your visa journey.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

IMO, the chances of your fiance being issued a B2 visa are next to nil.

I went thou the thread and it seems to all be about Canadians / Canada border crossings ???

I would love to know if anyone from the Middle East got approved for a US tourist visa while being in the K1 process ??
