Hi all, this is my situation: I am an italian citizen and I got denied a j1 visa in the past and because of that my ESTA got denied too. We filed the I-129 f in january and I would like to go visit my fiancee for 2-3 weeks in the US while the k1 is pending. The problem is that I cant go to the US under the ESTA but I will have to apply for a tourist visa. Having a pending I-129F and prior ESTA and visa refusals, do you think I should try to schedule an interview at the embassy or should I just drop it and wait?

January 8th, 2014: I-129f petition sent to Lewisville, TX lockbox

September 2nd: Packet 3 sent

September 5th: Packet4 received

September 17th: interview approved

In my opinion you should wait as you would likely be refused the tourist visa. As you have applied for the K-1 you are likely to hear from the authority soon.

Ok. Is this changed meanwhile? If not, it's very likely that you'll be denied the tourist visa as well.
