Hi everyone,

I met my fiance in India in October 2011 and we started dating then. He was finishing university then and was thinking about going to the US to study.

In 2014, he applied for an F-1 visa twice for Fall 2014 and got rejected twice. He then applied for an F-1 visa twice for Spring 2015 and got rejected twice. The decision was based on finances.

In April 2015, I visited him and we got engaged :).

Currently, NVC has sent our K-1 petition to New Delhi and we're waiting for the letter to be sent to my beneficiary.

We're both really worried about him not being approved for the visa due to his prior rejections for the F-1 visa.

What do you all think? Has anyone been in this situation before (or heard of it) and can offer any insight??

Thank you all so much :)

Probably not, sounds like they correctly surmised the true purposes and rejected accordingly and now you are going the correct route.

A number of low tier schools in the US will issue i20 to any foreign student, when school financial motives outweigh academics. The US embassy sees thru that. Not saying that’s the case here, but 4 visa tries in a short span sounds a bit excessive.

In your case, K-1 sounds about the right way to bring him over. No guarantees though.. I’ve seen India K1 approval threads, as well as some K-1s being denied with the applicants then getting married to eventually pursue spousal visas.
