Hello all! I'm new. Just found you today & desperately hoping for some information.

I am a US citizen by birth. I am engaged to a Jamaican citizen. We plan to marry and live in Jamaica. We would like to spend our honeymoon here visiting friends. His visa to re-enter the US was denied, and the Embassy told him that I need to appeal. Does anyone have any experience in this matter, or advise. Any information would be useful.

Thank you!

Welcome baby girl. We need a little more information. How was he entering...on a visitor's visa) or another type of visa?

There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore... and who always will.

So, don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.

After you marry, you can apply for a CR1 for him. I don't see any other way around it.

They see him as marrying and immigrating no matter what you say to them at this point.

Life's just a crazy ride on a run away train

You can't go back for what you've missed

So make it count, hold on tight find a way to make it right

You only get one trip

So make it good, make it last 'cause it all flies by so fast

You only get one trip

Thank you! He entered on a visitors visa which expired after 3 months.

Did he then go to the embassy to reapply and told them he would either be visiting his fiance on it or going on his honeymoon to the US?

Yes, he went to the Embassy and told them he would be going to his honeymoon in the US

Now, who told him to say that? :whistle: They don't want to hear that when someone is applying for a visitor's visa. Oh, damn... So, they want you to appeal a visitor's visa?

Sorry; but that was a big mistake. The visitor visa is issued with the express intent that someone will return to their home country. No matter what you say at this point, they are not going to believe that is going to happen.

Like I said, for him to come to the US now.....with you marrying in Jamaica.....you will have to file a CR1 after you marry.

You could file a K-1 right now; but then not be able to marry in JA.

There is probably a small chance for him to file for a visitor visa after you have married and lived together in JA for a while. Assets, a job(s), owning property, etc. as proof. It would not be in time for a honeymoon, though.

But, again, I think they are probably going to deny cause they will think he will never come back. Not the intent of a visitor visa.

A CR-1 is a visa to immigrate to the US. Check the guides tab on top of this page for more information.

You will probably have a tough time now with the Embassy on almost anything...they're going to really watch how you all play this out because of the way he came initially and overstayed - they don't take too kindly to that. And now you're saying he wants to come on visitor's visa...they're going to be highly suspicious of anything. Good luck with them...he's in a rock and a hard place. Also know this, the immigration process you all are about to embark on will be a lengthy one...this isn't a quick deal.

Where did it say he overstayed a visa? I think I missed that.

She is right about the long process. If you were to file a marriage visa, you will have to prove your ability to sponsor him in the US. That may prove a big problem if you up and move to Jamaica.
