Hi,

I'm filling out a DS-156 Form and there's a #31 question that asks "Have you ever been refused a U.S. Visa?"

My fiance tried applying the first time for K-1 Visa at USCIS even we didn't met yet in person and cuz he have a problem travelling for long hours on a plane. But the USCIS denied our petition and that they said we should meet first, so he went to my country (with the help of his doctor) and we filed the second time and our petition was approved.

Does our first time application at USCIS means a refusal of Visa?

Thank you so much.

NO, :no: Only if the petition makes it to the consulate and they interview, and then deny a visa are you considered to be refused a visa. In your case, USCIS denied the petition long before it made it to the consulate to be refused.

That question mostly has to do with a person having a tourist, business, or student visa application refused at the consulate.

OUR TIME LINE Please do a timeline it helps us all, thanks.

Is now a US Citizen immigration completed Jan 12, 2012.
