[puppies 0]

I entered the U.S in 2005 on an indefinite multi entry visitors visa and recieved a 6 month visa, from then on I extended my visa 5 times.On the sixth time my visa was denied,I left and returned to the U.K, when I tried to re-enter two weeks later on the visa waiver I was denied entry.My fiancee and I had always intended to get married but due to bad advise and being naive I left unaware that there would be a problem with returning to the U.S!!! I was never there illegally and have my own income.Will there be a problem when we apply for the K1?? Do we need a lawyer??? What will be the best way to approach this situation???

Please help!!!!!!!

Can't see there being a problem if you didn't stay illegally. Did they put a ban on you when you were denied entry?

Being denied entry on a tourist visa should have zero effect on your K1 petition as long as there was not an overstay or something else illegal going on.

Many on VJ have been denied entry for a visit and have had no problems getting a K1 visa.

I suggest you look over the Guides here at VJ, read over all the information, everything you need to file on your own is there.

Lawyers can be quite pricey but considering I don't know the full extent of your situation I won't suggest you not get one. I believe that if two people have a pretty straight forward case (no overstays, no criminal records, etc. etc.) they are fully capable of doing it on their own without the assistance of a lawyer. It's your call though.

Best of luck!

There was no ban I was told I was just not eligible for the visa waiver

I would certainly think you would be ok without an immigration lawyer puppies. As Laura said, just go over the guides very carefully and you should be ok but it is your decision at the end of the day.

Good luck, I hope everything works out.

Hmm...I don't think this will be a problem.

Are the children coming to the U.S. with your fiance?

If they are, you will need a letter from the child/children's Mother stating she is allowing the children to come to America to live with your fiance.

Puppies,

I don't see any problems with you being denied a 6th entry. This has nothing to do with a K-1, and because you never overstayed your visa or never did anything illegal to ban yourself while you were in the country, I think you will be A-OK.

I don't see the need to hire a lawyer over this, as I don't see any problems. However, if it will make you feel better, you could always find a lawyer who offers free consultations over the phone, and explain your situation.

Of course, they could tell you the case is more complicated than it actually is, just so you hire them to do it, so take everything with a grain of salt, and good luck!

My fiancee is the american who is filing the K1 he has the outstanding child support,I have no dependents and I am english,will there be any problems??

I do remember a poster on VJ not that long ago that had a similar issue, and yes, outstanding child support payments did impact on his ability to get his visa approved. You might try searching on the Major Changes forum, or search on the site for child support. I think he had to bring his child support payments up to date before the visa would be issued to the beneficiary in another country. I think this comes from the belief that his children in the US should be supported first, before bringing a spouse over the US.

Please check into this before applying, as you wouldn't want this to hold up anything...specifically if he's so far behind and it will take a long time to catch up with his payments.
