Hello there, 

 

My fiance and I just applied got a K1 visa (we only just sent in the I-129F I couple of weeks ago), but I (the beneficiary) have just received an offer to start on a college in his home state. 

 

Would it be too risky to apply for the F1 while we are in the early stages of the K1? Would my F1 get denied if they can see I am currently in a K1 process? Would they even be able to see this if out petition have only just been sent in? When they finally process my K1, can they deny either visas if they figure out I'm already on a F1?

If you are traveling to the U.S. on a temporary visa (such as F-1), you are required to prove that you do not plan to remain inthe U.S. With a pending K-1 (which I had an immigrant intent). How would you bypass that? I think it would be near impossible.

K1 won't be denied because of the F1,  but an F1 would be denied because of the K1. 

YMMV
