I need advice please!

Guys I want go to US embassy in Managua, Nicaragua to try get a tourist visa, but l'm afraid because it could be refused. I have already immigrant visa process with pd DEC 02 2013, but I want go to see my Wife only 1 week. Then come back home to wait complet our process.

What should I do? Sincerenly !!!

If you don't apply then your chances of not receiving the visa are 100%.

I'd say give it a shot just like HYPNOS said. Make sure you can show evidence you have strong ties to your home country. Good luck with your application.

Yes let try with evidences except no, you have Nothing to loose! Why people with Esta visa like I can travel and not other tourist visa it ll be very unfair!

[vsubish 3]

There is no harm in trying and taking your chances.

But just FYI - I tried the same thing for my spouse in INDIA and it was reject. This is not to discourage you from applying for the tourist VISA.

You never know- you may get it... :)

All the best.

Ok, It seem I need to take the risk, I never know if I not try it.

But, other issue is if do they know if you are a beneficiary or do they know if you have a engagement or wife?

do they have all record about you?, that is because I try change the scenario.

They will know about your wife because you are required to list her on the application form.

They do not have all records on you.

Tell the truth.

Changing your scenario can backfire as the US Embassy is versed in common tricks people use to get visas.

If you have a job, property, business etc in your home country you should be fine.

You only need to convince them that you WILL come back after visiting your wife.

Your chances of getting rejected is almost 99.9%. Since your wife is in USA and you applied for F2A visa, you have lot more reasons to stay in USA than to go back. I tried the same for my wife and got rejected. I even had a California Senator to send a recommendation letter to USA embassy. If you have 150 dollars to waste, give it a try.

If you give it a try, be honest and don´t get it … you don´t lose much (just the $$). But if you submit an application with false info. , like lying about your wife in the USA and they catch you, you will put at great risk your other process for immigrant visa.

Advice = Be honest and tell the truth, don´t risk it!

No offence, but what exactly could that letter have done? How could this senator have guaranteed that your wife would abide by the conditions of a tourist visa?

If anything it could have given the impression that you're trying 'too hard' to get a tourist visa.

To the OP, if you've got the money for the application and can spare the time to go for the interview then you've nothing to lose by applying.

If it gets approved - woohoo, happy days.

If it gets denied - not great but as long as the denial is only because of lack of ties then it will have no effect on your immigration visa.

When I last applied I was 95% certain I would be refused. I was absolutely gutted when I was refused but for the sake of that 5% chance of approval it was worth trying for.

Good luck.

No offence taken. Every USA embassy in the world has a representative for the senate/congress to whom the senators/congressmen can correspond with regarding consular matters. I know there were tourist visas approved because of recommendation letter from senators/congressmen, but those petitioners didnt have a F2a like visa pending. Senators/Congressmen can vouch for the veracity of the petitioners. There is nothing like "trying too hard". Please do your research before you comment.
