Hmmm. 2 conflicting answers there...

Nikki, I don't think you should be scared. The reason for the denial is VERY common. Tons of Russian fiancees get denied B1/B2 but it never causes problems with K1 or K3. I applied for B1/B2 6 times, 4 of them I was denied for the same reason as yours. (we are applying for K1 this week, so I don't have an interview experience yet.)

yes the denial is very common, so dont worry about it, just mentiion it on the form, and at teh interview the Con-Off probably wont even mention it because its a common occurance

I am in Canada and I was denied too. I really dont think you should send them a detailed explanation saying when and why you were denied. I do think that if you do that, you might be providing more information than is necessary and might actually go against you. (providing unnecessary information which might be not necessary do u any good) When I applied for the I-130, I did not tell them anything about being denied. However, in my DS-230, they ask you specifically if you were denied and the reason why. I came up with a short and direct answer. The bottom line is, just be honest about everything and you'll be fine and if I were you, I wouldn't volunteer that information to them. It simply is NOT NECESSARY at that stage.

yeah i agree, i'm not gonna write a letter at all, after all my wife is petitioning for me, she probably will write a letter but not mention anything like that. I think the best way is to maybe deal with it as and when the case is forwarded here to uk and i get my interview, this has been a really interesting read tho. I wish there were more places for people with this kind of support.

I think you are in the type of worries of the newbie..lol .Yodrak teached me when i was one and feeled i have to put all my life in the 1st form, that all your life or the parts they are interested in for the sake of the security, etc..will be deployed progressively in the forms you'll have to fill, one step at a time...to finally at the end, they have to see consistency...This is the foundation, for ex, if you have all the forms in front of you, you'll see all the questions you'll have to ansswer in the process...Maybe also important is to see which one are important: for ex the I-130 form, the 1st step form which they will make background checks...then another important one and more detailed is the Ds-230...If you say more than they ask, they'll be put in the position to check more, which means...more waiting time, etc...So, i learned to focuss and understand 1st the questions...because sometimes we need to dechifer them...because they are standard questions to include all types of cases...In the begining, I wouldn't write them "love" letters lol...i'll wait to know what they want...to understand what their logic is, what their perception is...Hope it helps and good luck...
