Well I wld say it wasn't a good idea to apply as a friend if she is ur fiancee. It wld have been a plus for u if u had apply as her fiance in the previous ones but all the same it shdnt be a problem but there is also a possibility they might ask u questions abt that at the interview so be prepared a look for a good explanation for that.

I agree with this response. You were engaged in April but applied for the visa after then but listed her as your friend.You misrepresented yourself on the application as she was your fiance then. It may be a potential issue. On the other hand it may not even come up. You may be asked if you ever applied for a visa before in that case definitely be prepared to answer this one if it does. You will be asked questions about when you became engaged.If you say April then you say you applied for the visa in September your story won't add up you may be denied.

He applied for a tourist visa. If he even got a chance to explain that he was going to visit a friend it wouldn't have been a lie. I doubt any of that will be relevant to the K 1. If asked the truth will be enough.

Well I belive not all questions will be asked.I will give the truth to what I am asked and leave the rest to God

Answer all questions with honesty and you will be fine. The real problem here is that the case will likely go to A P. This would happen no matter what in most cases simply due to the country & culture I think. I don't mean its bad just that like many its unique.

Ning.please how would you answer these question.

1) How long to intend to stay in the USA after your wedding?

2) Why do you want to have the wedding in the USA?

I don't know how she should answer because her truth isn't known. This isn't important as the length of time she can stay is predetermined.

I ask you the same question about why marry in the USA. Its no different than every other K 1 case I suppose. That's the whole idea of the K 1. Marry & return to the persons country. Why? It must be that you & she want to do this for a very important reason. Probably family & culture again.

Questions 2 and 3 aren't really clear. Why would you leave the US after your wedding? Question 3. A traditional engagement is considered a marriage and if you mention it in the interview more than likely you will be considered married and your petition will be denied.

this is not true at all many cultures my husbands included require an engagement party that very much looks like a wedding ceremony to American eyes yes but is not . It is not a red flag it would be more of a red flag not to have an engagement party in a culture where it is the norm which is the case of the op . As well a k1 does not mean you have to stay after you get married in the U.S. And adjust your status it simply allows you to get married, if one chooses to leave the next day, week, or year that is up to them there is nothing wrong with it .

Definitely a red flag in west Africa. Is your husband from a west African country? Your profile says Jordan. Check the forums. You will find people from West African countries who have been denied due to including pictures from engagement ceremonies. Edited by Tiff&Babs
