If you expect that your spousal visa application will result in a request for an I601 waiver is it possible to file for the I601 concurrently in effort to speed up the process? Or does it have to be filed after the spousal visa is application is processed and a waiver is requested?

What EXACTLY did he do?  If you want good help, then you need to be specific,  A general broad mislead an immigration officer could mean anything.  Did he lied about being married when he was in fact single?  What?

They were renewing a tourist visa and said they had not worked on previous trips (while on tourist visa) in the US. After successfully renewing, they traveled to the US and immigration found evidence of unlawful work (on their phone) causing denial of entry and immigration revoking the tourist visa. So the issue is 1.) unlawful work 2.) lying about not having unlawfully worked in order to get the tourist visa renewed. The visa was revoked but there was no ban.

Why is your fiance inadmissible?   What exactly did they do?

Mislead an immigration officer in order to get a tourist visa approved, of which they now have documented evidence of.

The eligibility to obtain a waiver is determined at the interview. Think of the K1 as an Immigrant Visa for waivers as it is for immigrant intent.   The interview is done in the Immigrant Visa section of the Consulate - that why you see 600 series waivers.

Thanks, in speaking to lawyers we have heard conflicting info on which waiver would be required if a K1 is denied due to inadmissability (fruad/previously misleading an immigration officer). It seems like it is the I-601, which would require extreme hardship proof. We also aren't sure if that is harder to prove if you are not together or married already.

If anyone has any experience with a similar case any info is appreciated!

Has anyone had experience with K1 visa denial and applying for a waiver? The I-192 is the non-immigrant visa waiver and since k-1 is technically classified as non-immigrant I wasn't sure if that is the waiver that would be used. Most people reference the I-601 in regards to fiancee/spousal visa waivers.
