Be honest. Don’t lie. Tell them the real timeline. 
Consulates are very familiar with the “I’m just visiting my friend” song and dance… they don’t believe it and then you marry and move to the US on the correct visa. It’s a very common story. Don’t worry at all about the denied petition…. Just make sure to tell the truth at interview. 

Well we didn’t married  until few years later so it wasn’t something that happen after the denied . Wouldn’t that matter ? They see it wasn’t really to move to the US . We took our time.

Was the friend mentioned in the denied tourist visa application the same person the beneficiary married? 
 

Yup my name was on the ds160  so I know when he goes to the interview they probably will ask for dates when we dated and question him more , we  just have to be ready for questions.

As others have already said a tourist visa denial won't impact you with the CR1 (unless the reason was for something serious like crime etc.). I had both a B2 tourist and ESTA denial when I applied. I mentioned the B2 denial in my application and it never came up during my interview but I did get asked at the border when I immigrated why my ESTA was denied so just be prepared for an answer in case. I remember being a bit thrown off with how to answer but it was a non-issue. 

Yes  but in our case we were dating I just said we were only friends.  I just hope they  dont try to question me about it . I just have him she sure our dates when we started dating are not during that time lol

You have absolutely everything messed up.

You say you applied for the visa but she is the one going for the interview. Then you say ”All these years my husband travel to visit me will go to waste.”.

 

Regardless of gender, things are as follows:

US citizen=petitioner

Foreigner=tourist visa applicant=spousal visa beneficiary=person that will be interviewed

 

Sorry I was typing fast

Agreed with @Mike E

 

Who are you? The husband, the wife, the US citizen, the tourist visa applicant?

I am the husband the beneficiary. My girl friend was the visa applicant . She’s will be going to the interview in a few months for spouse visa .

They asked him if we were dating or just friends and he said just friends. Do you think that will be a problem?

What was the outcome of your visa?

A denied tourist visa will have no impact on an immigrant visa.  I agree with @Timona.  From what you posted, there is no issue here.  Good luck.

 

If you had claimed to be married on that B2 application years ago, then that would be an issue.  

I quess I was worry since my name is listed on the ds160 application as the point of visit in 2016. But I guess I see your point

You shouldn't have a problem 

Thank you just so stressful you waited years and we close 🤦‍♀️ 

So here is our story years ago in 2016 I apply for a b2 travel visit to the US. When I fill out the application I put visiting a friend and I put my girlfriend name . But at the time we were actually dating but I said when ask at the interview just visiting my friend . They denied my visit cause I couldn’t proof strong ties. So she ended up visiting me multiple times like 11 times here to my country . During that time I propose and we got married here in my country . Fast forward today we got approve through USCIS and currently at the nvc stage. So it’s been years from that attempt to visit . We got  many pictures together , we even met up in another country (costa rica) for a honeymoon. But I did made sure when submitted the petition to make sure the dates are aligned correctly to reflect when we started dated and not when apply for b2 visa.

so my question is  would you think they ask me about that visa years ago . I fear that they might see I was lying.  All these years my husband travel to visit me will go to waste.

like any stories of people who went through the same or similar situation.
