B2 process interrupt & K1 visa approved

[eses89 0]

Hello together,

 

my fiance and I applied for a K1 visa. Our visa got approved. I will soon schedule an Appointment for the k1 visa.

I applied for a B2 visa because my esta got denied. I have no idea why my esta got denied. Once I had the interview they couldnt tell me why my esta got denied.

They told me they cant give me the visa right now and Need more processing time. I submit all the proofs they wanted for the b2 visa.

They hold my passport for 3 month. In the meantime my K1 visa got approved. Therefore i requested my passport back and decide to cancel the b2 visa.

I am worrying about the k1 visa. If they would make a Problem as well.

ESTA or B2 denial will not affect your K-1. However, once you have a K-1, I doubt they'll give you a B2. Reason being, the next time you enter the US, you'll only be using your K-1.

You mean your application was accepted. Your K1 visa hasn't been approved yet. The CO will decide whether or not to approve your K1 after the interview. 

 

Also, while it might not directly affect your K1 visa approval, your B2 denial will definitely raise an eyebrow so be prepared to answer why did you apply for it? Was it to go see your USC fiance? Make sure you tell the truth. If they think your're lying then you're in some serious trouble.

 

Rather odd that your ESTA would not be approved and they held your passport for so long, since you're from Germany. They usually hold your passport for so long to perform background checks. Unless you are originally an Arab or Middle Eastern native with a German passport, then it would make sense.

Thank you for the info. I never had a problem travelling to USA with esta. However they denied the last one. My B2 Visa wasn't denied it was on administrative process. But I decide to cancel the process because of K1. I wanted to visit my fiance and I had a free flight to USA.
