Hi,

What are the chances of a person being denied a visa waver if that person was denied a visa 4 months ago. My fiancee visited me for 3 months earlier this year on a visa waiver. As soon as she got back to her home country she applied for a visa(big mistake, she should've waited a while then enter the US using the visa waiver again). It has been 4 months since she was denied the visa and she was thinking of reentering using the visa waiver program again. What are the chances she will be sent back on the next flight? What is the worst case scenario, will she be barred from entering the US for years? I want her to come here as soon as possible, but all other avenues seem like a long wait. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for all your help.

We need a bit more information to help you, such as what country is your fiance from and what kind of visa did she apply for (that got denied)?

When entering the US on the Visa Waiver program, there is never any guarantee that you will be let in. Your fiance will need to provide proof of ties to her home country, such as mortgage or lease documents, most recent pay stubs, bank account info, etc. to prove that she will return to her home country after her "visit" to the U.S.

If you want your fiance to come here permanently, you will need to apply for a K-1 Visa (using Form I-129F).

Assuming she applied for a B and was turned down as she can use the VWP, I did, also at the 4 month mark.

She will be grilled in secondary so bring plenty of non immigrant evidence.

Being denied a visa does not mean that a person can not use the vwp-just make sure that she has PLENTY of evidence to show that she will be returning at the end of her visit.

She should expect to be "grilled" at the POE. My fiance(then boyfriend was denied in Philly because he overstayed on the vwp by 2 days). It is up to the officer whether a person gets in or not-it really is a gamble.You never know what will happen.

good luck

Hi,

She applied for a tourist b visa and she is from Portugal. She is a student, but at the time of her visa application she was not enrolled in any classes. This time if she comes using the visa waiver she will show proof of registration for classes plus bank account, etc. She lives with her parents so she doesn't have any mortgage payments. She will only be staying for 2 weeks. If she is sent back what are the chances she will be barred from entering for a long time? My main concern is that most info on the web states if a person is denied a visa(but i'm assuming this applies to more comlicated visas and not a simple tourist visa), a person should apply for a visa and not enter on a visa waiver. My intention is to marry her, but would like to see if could enter on a visa waiver for now. Thanks for all the help

She has to declare it on the I-94W, right?

Hi,

Boiler, were you let in? How much did they know about your previous visa denial? Were they more concerned about your current situation or about your previous denial? Thanks a bunch.

If you are denied entry using your vwp, you will not able able to return to the states with out getting a visa, My fiancee had been denied entry using vwp and told the only way ever to return is to apply for a visa.

We had been told it was pretty hard to gain the tourist b visa once being denied entry on the vwp so in time we filed for the K-1

This is what happened to my fiance-he had been here fom 10/26/05-1/26/06................we didn't realize that he was overstaying on the vwp by 2 days. Fastforward to 3/06.............he was denied entry in philadelphia because of the 2 day overstay and was told in order to come back to the states-he would need a visa. 5/06 he applied for the b-2 visa but was denied for lack of ties to Ireland(no mortgage-or apt lease, things of that nature). We became engaged in 10/06 & filed for the k-1 in 12/06.

The b-2 visa is EXTREMELY hard to get if you can not prove to them that you will return. As I said before she can take the chance & try to visit but she MUST show proof of her return-that is what they care about.

Overstaying a VWP does however mean you can never use it again.

Yes, you tick the box (not the one about being a member of the Nazi Party)

Hi,

I assume that they knew, this was when I was younger and ignorant and awaiting for a K1 to go through Nebraska.

If I had done some research I would have realised that I would never have got a B and I was wasting my time.

The guy at primary was a little sh*t, the only time I have had a nasty conversation. By that time I knew I was going to secondary so just kept cool.

Secondary guy was much better, had an IQ, explained that as I had made several short visits I had thought mistakingly that applying for a B was the right thing to do without realising the consequences.

Which was true.

I guess I was there 40 minutes or so?, enough to miss my connecting flight. My now stepson was on the same flight, I had told him to keep going if I got delayed.

I am fairly certain that they know anyway that you have been denied a visa, if you lie on the I-94W you will be in much bigger trouble.

I do not remember much of a discussion about my current situation, I think they checked on the factual details.

But each person will have a different experiance.

The worst-case scenario would be that they would tell your girlfriend to get on the next plane home and not come back without a visa in her passport. Attempting to enter on the VWP is not a bannable offense...
