[monicagc 4]

But I have a question,when I got approved the man who interviewed me took away my visitor visa which is b-2 I am completely shocked cause I just received this visa last year for 10 years and now I will no longer have it, is this something legal?he was very rude and I really was surprised when I heard him say you are approved but you will no longer have visitor visa

Any help will be appreciated

Your K-1 overrules the need for a visit type class of visa. With the K-1 the purpose is to marry, stay and adjust your status.

[mlh 93]

You will no longer need the visitor visa. With your K-1 you enter the US and then after you AOS, you'll be a permanent resident, so won't need it anymore.

[PilsenC 33]

Ahm... why do you want the visitor visa? if You-re going to live in the united states. It is completely legal.

hhahah thats tthe logic. (rude mode) jajajajaj

Thank you guys for replying!!! I understand I don't need cause I will live in United States, but I have a truthful relationship with my future husband and I know there is always a chance it might not work and if it doesn't work with my husband I will have to come back to my country and I will have to do visitor visa all over again, even if I live with my husband and everything goes well, I just felt it was my visa and they shouldn't take it away until I actually get my status change, that's all

But than you guys

The moment you were issued the k1 visa, your tourist visa was cancelled.

The k1 is a non immigrant visa with immigrant intent so you no longer need a visitor visa.

It wasn't your visa, it was a gift.

Uscis don't care if your relationship will or will not work out.

Those are the rules.

hmm okay well in your terms of thinking your status did change from a B to a K? Does that make it easier to understand?

You applied for a B visa right/ you filled out some papers, paid a fee, went through the process, it was short but you were approved and given the B last year. It was valid for 10 years.

Same thing with the K. You applied, filled out forms, paid a fee, went through the process, it took a lot longer then the B, and its only valid for a short time to travel on, its a one time use, lots of conditions etc etc you know the drill.

So you did change from a B to a K. I know ideally I know you would have like to have waited until youd changed into a LPR before losing your B but thats not how it works.

Did you express your concerns to the CO?

[pdking5000 56]

Everyone needs to stop being PC. Admit this is one of the more bizarre complaints you have seen. He/she didn't have to file for the K1. If they were unsure about the relationship they could've postponed the petition until they were absolutely sure they wanted to live in the United States together. Regardless, a greencard > tourist visa. You are granted more privileges. I don't understand the complaints unless you barely know your fiance and are expressing doubts that the relationship will last past 90 days and the potential AOS. Anyways, I digress.

It's not about being unsure it was just a question about if it was legal that's all I was completely shocked they took it away.

Actually my relationship with my fiance is completely different I lived with my fiance in my country for 2 years but he HAD TO move back to United States. So trust me it's not about insecurities. I just thought the guy was being rude, but since it's legal I understand now. And I understand uscis don't care if my relationship works or not, they just take away visitors visa without changing status first.

no worries. remember, the K1 is a one-entry visa. You are supposed to marry within 90 days and later file for adjustment of status. If you need to go back to Costa Rica while waiting for your green card make sure before file for Advanced Parole so that you can leave the country while your status is pending.

I dont think it was a bizarre complaint at all.

Of course everyone reads things differently but I read it as a woman who didnt understand the basics of the system. Her original post wasn't so much a complaint as it was a question- is this legal?

She had an interview with what she perceived to be a rude officer who took away her B visa and did not explain to her that you can not legally hold both at the same time.

It was confusing for her as she probably went through a lot to get her B visa. For some one to (virtually) crumble it up in front of you and offer no explanation and you to be sitting there feeling like you cant ask anything because they are the person in power that can decide your future basically intimating and they have a rude attitude- yeah you are going to walk out of there like what the hey??

So she posted here asking what the heck just went on. She didnt express doubts about anything just a general confusion.

Ah Boiler. You are so funny. You know she didnt say anything to the CO. No one ever does. They are too scary to stand up to because they have too much power (perceived or actual). And I really do hate that. I really do wish that people would stand up to them. Even now, after the fact. Maybe even if she waits until she has her visa in hand and sends an email to the embassy stating she did not like her interviewer- that he was rude to her. If theres enough legitimate complaints about his behavior--)

[raven52 233]

Sorry you got a rude officer, as the US tax payer, pays them! with him working at the embassy. Not USCIS, which is "supposed to be" self sufficient.,.,.,which I doubt! Hahaha, they do not approve enough petitions, at TSC to make any money!

No worries, you have a K-1, and is the thing you seek, and I hope the rest of your journey goes well.

Congrats, and welcome to the USA! I hope you are happy.

of course it's legal, and why was it rude of him? I'm dumbfounded that you are worried of losing the B2 in "in case" it doesn't work out with your fiance. Way to be optimistic. NOT

[GurkenSalat 48]

Not only legal - it's procedure. And, I expect, also not rude. Just procedure. Most likely, the interaction was rather impersonal, but some people may construe that as rude... people are so quick to take everything personally.
