Tourist Visa Question on K1

[Celie 793]

This just occurred to me and I want to call USCIS but I want to make sure I'm on the right path. I filled out our entire K1 form online via Rapid Visa in June right after my trip in late May to Beirut. At the end of July, we decided to try to get him to visit for the holidays this year so he applied for a tourist visa but was denied. His interview was like August 18th or so and after the denial we decided oh well... I'll just go and visit in December. So I booked my ticket and mailed the fiance visa Aug 31st.

 

But it just occurred to me I didn't revise the petition to show he had been denied for the visa. Is this something I can call them and explain or do i have to send a revised one? My NOA2 date is many many months away but will this make it longer?

Not a big deal now, as the previous visa applications come into play when you are filling out the DS-160 before the interview. They ask about any previous visits to the United States, and if you have ever applied for a Visa to the United States before. I do not think this will be an issue for you.

Thank you! Oh, I hope you're right! Do you think I should call them and let them know so they at least have it in the notes or is that a bad idea?

Getting thru to USCIS on the phone is a nightmare from my understanding, I have never tried it, but it is not a pleasant experience from what I have read on here. Even if you could get to someone that really cared and wanted to help you there is really no way to get stuff added to your petition now that it is on the way. I know people have tried mailing things to get added to their petition to try and avoid a RFE, but I have never heard of anyone being successful

I just looked thru my copy of my K1 I129F application, and no where in there does it ask if you have applied for a Visa, It asks if your fiancee has ever been to the United States before, and if yes you put in dates, times, visa type, etc., but I do not see anything about previous visa applications. But I know it will be asked for in the DS-160 for sure.

 

I would just let things ride for now. Trying to get anything added will just cause more problems.  Just keep tabs on the New USCIS site, and wait for anything to happen.

On that note, you most probably right. I remember the online form that Rapid Visa had us fill out had more questions than the government form. I noticed that on the address section. If that's the case then I feel muchhhh better. Thank you so much for your help.

Your welcome. I'm sure you will get some more input on this from other members, but you should be fine. I did my own petition, but I am sure they ask a bunch of extra questions to cover anything that could happen. They are using the better to have more information than not enough theory I would assume, I know when I was preparing to file I got all sorts of information from my fiancee that I didn't need in the long run, but you want to prepare as best you can.

Yess!! When I logged into the Rapid Visa account and looked at my petition it shows there but luckily I remembered that I kept a pdf copy of the one they prepared and was submitted and I carefully scrolled through it just now and that question really doesn't appear on it. Only on the online questionnaire RV had me fill out. Whew! I guess I'm overthinking it lol but thank you so much!

If I remember correctly, the I-129f only asks if the beneficiary ever been in the United States.  Once you get to the DS-160 stage , this is when they ask about previous denials. don't worry.
