Will a denied O-1 Visa affect a CR-1 Spouse visa?

[Morgan Vincent 2]

Hello there, I'm in starting the procedures for a CR-1 Spouse visa and I'm wondering if my previous denied O-1 Visa (Artist visa) will affect the process, results etc?

If anyone was in the same situation, please enlighten me

My O-1 visa was denied in April 2015, and I'm now refiling in November 2015, because I applied as a professional dancer (my job) and didn't get approved.

The main reason was that I wanted to live with my then boyfriend, now husband.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Not a problem at all unless you were lying about your relationship at O-1 interviews. If they ever asked for your relationship and you denied it, it might bring some hassles at CR-1 interview. Otherwise you are good to go. Good luck.

Thank you Nancy, no I never ever lied to USCIS, the relation ship was never even mentioned since it was focused on my career and job sponsors. Should I then check the box that say in the I-130 form that I did applied for immigration before? Because it was just a visa, not an immigration process. Thank you.
