I'm just not sure... I need some help...

So my Fiance and I met at the camp we work at. And here's my question-- we applied for the k-1 in October and have since been waiting for our NOA2 but while we were waiting he was hired back to our camp job-- Now I called the USCIS and the local State Visa office and they both said you can have apply for as many visa's as you want. So I said "so it wont hurt our chances for him to come to camp with his J-1 visa while we are waiting for our NOA2??" and he said no. So I'm wondering if this is true-- I would not want to hurt our chances of being rejected -- but he has never violated his J-1 and this will be his 3rd summer at the camp so he's not just coming for me but the job and money to save for our new life together. If any of you out there have some information I would be so appriciative. Thank you

No, it won't hurt his chances of obtaining the K1 visa. He can be in the US for the entire process if he has another visa that allows it. He would just need to go back to the UK for his embassy appointment.

The terminology is blowing in the wind here. First USCIS doesn't handle visa applications. Second, you haven't made it clear whether he's applying for a J1 visa or already has one. The answer quoted above assumes he already has it. If that's the case, it's correct.

The question really is not how many visas can be applied for simultaneously because you could apply for every kind of visa there is and still be granted no visa(s). USCIS is not the place to ask questions about applying for visas. For your fiance, they would deal with YOUR petition, not his or anybody's visa application and then later with his applications to adjust status, work authorization, advance parole, removal of conditions and naturalization.

If he has a J1 visa for the purpose of working at the camp, chances are he can use it regardless of where things stand with his K1 case. If he's needing to apply for a new J1 visa, that could get much more complicated, depending on timing and other factors we have no knowledge of.

According to the OP, the fiancee has has J1-s before and never overstayed, but from what I know of J1's issued for summer work, he would probably need to re-apply for it so that he can work at said summer camp during this coming up summer.

The OP states in the original post, that she not only contacted USCIS, but also the "local State Visa office", so she did not only contact USCIS.

There is no such thing as a local state visa office. Perhaps she asked a local USCIS office.

Also depends on the customs agent at the airport. a J1 visa is a non-immigrant visa, vs a K1 visa which shows intent to immigrate. If you have intent to immigrate and you don't have an immigrant visa, then they can deny you entry into the US. His visa might be valid, but they could still turn him around.

I know when I got my (multiple) J1 visas (prior to K1), I had to provide a LOT of proof that I had ties in Ireland to return after the summer. While I was in College that wasn't too difficult but once I left college, I had to be a lot more creative.

I imagine, if your FI goes through Camp America, they will also have to provide something similar, so bear that in mind.

ETA, you probably know all that since you've done it before, but keep in mind that they have declared immigrant intent, so the embassy might be more picky

I'm aware of that....and I don't think she would have phrased her sentence "Now I called the USCIS and the local State Visa office and they both said you can have apply for as many visa's as you want" if she had contacted two different offices of the same entity (USCIS). Her phrasing indicates she contacted USCIS and another entity, which she names incorrectly. I was merely pointing out that the did not just contact USCIS to get an answer to her visa related question, which is what your post implied. Perhaps you should not speculate on what local office the OP contacted to get her information and just answer the original question.

Well Thank you all so much for all the input-- Perhaps I worded wrong but I did contact a VISA office that issued his j-1's in the past -- that's where I got the information from-- and He is applying for his j-1 now-- he would be arriving in May -- now if he gets the visa it's ok that wont hault progress on our k-1?? And he could still be turned away at the POE with the J-1-- cause unfortunatley he lives with his family so has no bills and also is self employed.... what are things we can do to insure them he will come back to the UK?? Like I said before he has never violated it before and we don't intend to now -- we just want to work at camp and be waiting and working rather than not-- and he certainly is planning to go back, we want to do this right.

and again I really appreciate all the help!
