Hi... My girlfriend just got her passport updated.  She is about to start the tourist Visa process (should take about 15 days).  I was about to start the K1 process but I've read that having two Visa applications open can cause problems.

 

My question is... If she completes her tourist visa before I submit the K1, could it affect the K1 process?

 

I'd appreciate any help.

If would be better if she tried for the tourist visa first before you file for the K1. Depending on what country she is from it is extremely hard to get a tourist visa while the K1 visa is already processing.

I appreciate the feedback.  She's from Brazil.  I'm going to submit the K1 after she has her tourist visa in hand.
