Denied a Student Visa in the past

[Pentaghost 0]

I'm a British Citizen who was denied a student visa in the winter of 2010. I believe that the reason for my denial was that I could not prove I had strong enough links to the UK, or something like that anyway, it was a while ago now.

My question is: Would being denied a student visa in the past have an impact on a k-1 visa application?

Thanks for any help.

Unlikely, if that is, in fact, the reason for denial

Good luck

That's an odd reason for a denial of a student visa.

NO, there should be no impact unless you lied on the app, such as saying you were married when you were not.

I certainly didn't lie about anything. I just had a bad interview, really, and was given a rejection letter. I'd hate for this to come between myself and the girl I love more than anything so I'm stressing over it a lot. Your responses have helped ease my mind a little though!

My fiancé and I actually had the same concern when we applied for the the K1 Visa,since my F1 student Visa had been denied in the summer of 2011 (reason being : absence of suitable travel purpose).

But I can comfort you ;)Last week I finally had my Interview at the U.S. Consulate and my K1 Visa got APPROVED. I was super nervous, because I thought they would deny it in the last minute,reason being my denied student visa. The officer asked me if I understand why my F1 Visa got denied back then and I just gave him an honest answer.A few more questions and that was it...

So try to not stress yourself about it! I know what you´re going thru right now,but you´re gonna be just fine and married in just a few months

That really eased my mind, thank you so much. I haven't actually asked my girlfriend to marry me yet, although I'm pretty sure about the answer It's just good to know that this won't stop us from being together. Thanks again!
