Can K1 be denied?

[snooky007 0]

I have been dating my boyfriend for four years now and he is a US citizen. I applied for F1 to study for my masters in the US but i was denied 5 times. I decided to go to the UK and now i'm almost concluding my program. My boyfriend is thinking of me applying for a K1 visa but I am so scared that my previous denials might result in the denial of the K1. Does anyone have and advice on this. Thanks

Just follow the Guide for K-1 at the top of this page. If you have been together in the past two years and can prove that with boarding passes, tickets, visa stamps in passports, photographs together, hotel receipts, etc. (not all necessary but the more, the better), then you can confidently apply.

Your fiancé would need to earn at least $18,000 a year and both of you must be eligible to marry (single or divorced).

Nothing to fear so long as you fulfill all the requirements that are listed in the Guides section. So please read them and if you still have questions, search the archive of this forum. Otherwise feel free to ask here.

All the best

K1s can be denied, as can any other visa. Denial of previous visas, such as tourist visas or the F visa you applied for don't necessarily mean your fiancee visa will get denied, it depends why the previous visa got denied; for example if it is because of previous overstays or drug use, you'll have problems again but there is a waiver option.

While the OP has given no information that would lead me to believe there would be any problem with a K1 process, if the visa could not be denied, we would call it a "registration" instead of "petitioning" followed by "applying".

Yes, a K-1 can be denied.

If an F-1 was denied for a reason that doesn't apply to a K-1, such as because of failure to prove non-immigrant intent, then that's not a problem at all in the K-1 process. Just be sure and disclose it when asked.

If an F-1 was denied for a reason that does apply to a K-1, such as material misrepresentation, criminal record, previous overstays, previous immigration violations, etc., then that could easily be a problem for the K-1. It might be a problem that can be overcome with a waiver, or it might not.

If you want to describe the reason for the denial, you may get more precise information.

Thanks. The reason for the denial was as an intended immigrant and that they do not think i have enough funds to finance my program.

That reason will not constitute for a K1 denial so start reading the K1 guide and prepare to file.

The K1 can be denied...if USCIS feels its worth a denial. Not meeting the requirments is one reason.

So can i go ahead with the filing process hoping that nothing goes wrong. We have evidence of emails, pictures, phone bills. I appreciate your contributions. Please say more

Have you physically met with your boyfriend face to face within the past 2 years?

When people say this is worries me. I thought it wasnt just your fiancee who had to earn this much, as long as you had say their parents for example say that they would support you if anything happened.

Yes, if there are additional sponsors with sufficient income, who will complete the necessary forms, the income of the petitioner is not an issue.
