Three strikes and you're out?

My husband was denied three times for a visa, twice for a tourist and once for a student visa, but seven years ago. If he applies again, will he get denied just because he was denied three times before?

a tourist visa

Oh, yes probably so. Is there something that's changed since the last times?

In the past seven years, yep. He has a job, we bought a house (cash, no mortage) and we're married. WE have a joint saving's account. He's now 28. We'd buy a car, but driving in lima is like having a death wish.

Compared to before he was 21 and still in uni, living at his parents.

WE just want a tourist visa, we don't want to live there. I left six years ago and don't plan on living there.

If he gets rejected, we might just try for a spousal visa as a last resort.

There's no three strikes and you're out rule in visas. If you can both show strong ties to Peru that will convince the Consular officer he's not intending to immigrate, you have a good chance. At least good enough it's worth a try.

Hopefully we can do that. I gave up US residency six years ago, and have held residency in various other countries, China, Scotland, Korea, and Peru. And plan on getting citizenship here in Peru. The one and ony reason that my husband's going to the USA, is because he married me and wants to meet my family. If it weren't for that, he'd never apply after he had gotten rejected.

Shouldn't be a problem. My fiance was turned down for student, visitor, and work visa. He will recieve his fiance visa next week or so. It was really easy for us with no problems. I know you will be applying for a different visa than the K1, but we thought the same, that it would be difficult. Just turn in a really organized packet, and keep your spirits up.

Good Luck,

Anna

Finally after 4 years apart, we can be together. ^^

If a fiance or spouse visa was the current issue, it wouldn't be a problem. This foreign spouse just wants to visit the USA, not immigrate.
