Me and my Fiance were denied a tourist visa almost a year ago. At the time we were not engaged to be married. We didnt know much about any of the visa processes. We just thought she could come here to America for a month or so to visit then return home as she had strong ties to her home in BKK. So of course she was denied so i then went to visit her for a couple weeks in Thailand. i proposed to her and now we are starting our K1 visa process after doing more research this time around. My question is.......will the denial of our Tourist visa effect our K1 visa process since our relationship has grow since we applied for the tourist visa? Will they have our denied tourist visa on file and question us about it at time of the interviews for the K1?

When it comes time to complete the DS-156 form (I think that is the number but it has been a while plus I am not sure they still use that form. They may have replaced it with the DS-160) it asks for denied visas. Just list the tourist visa and the date it was applied for and denied. No problem with the K-1 visa. My wife had a denied tourist visa and 2 approved tourist visas to list on that form for the interview. Just remember to begin documenting EVERYTHING about your relationship and travels from now on as you may need it at some point during this process.

Good luck,

Dave

It depends on the grounds on which the denial was based. If it was only for lack of strong ties, then you should be fine. If it was for something else, then you might have issues.
