K1 visa

[Drumph 1]

Hi, I am applying for a k1 visa for my fiancé. However, he was in a relationship 9 years ago within someone else who lives in the U.S. But the application was denied. Does anyone know how long do you have to wait before you can apply for another k1 visa? Or does anyone know what the chances are of my application being approved?

Thanks

Welcome to the forum.

Likely you are okay. However, it is difficult to say for sure without specific information about the reason for the previous denial.

Good luck on your immigration journey.

Thank you for your encouragement. Do you know if there is a certain amount of time that you have to wait to apply for another K1Visa after a denial?

Was the reason for the previous denial due to the petitioner, or due to the beneficiary?

He (the beneficiary) didn't know some information they were asking him at his interview

Would you be able to give us some more specific details on why the previous was denied as this could have a bearing on the future denial of the K1 - and then we would be able to help you out a little more.

Just mentioning this as many do get a 221g for missing information, then they submit it, and it is approved - can you dig a little deeper into why this was completely denied?

There is no official time you need to wait- you could file a new K1 the day after the first K1 was denied- but it would certainly be a red flag.

9 years is a very long time, while the previous denial will likely come up at interview, with plenty of relationship evidence, he should be fine.

..unless the refusal was for something other than relatonship evidence...something which would cause issues always...which rather than raise false hopes by just saying it will be fine, I suggest you ask about?
