Hi guys,

just want to ask this question for a friend who is not a member. she is married to USC and she wants to try to apply for a tourist visa "again". the first time she was granted a visa in 2005, she meet him and they get married. she returned home and after a year she applied again but she was denied due to the fact that she is already married, usem knew it. she then go to canada instead just to see her hubby. now she wants to try again because one of her friend told her that this friend's hubby was issued a multiple entry visa. she just need your opinion. I already gave mine that it just a waste of money, however she wants to hear it from other people. thanks!

If she is married to a USC, why can't they apply for spouse visa (CR1/IR1/K3)?

exactly what i was thinking. since she's married to a USC, have the husband petition the proper visa. it's easier that way, rather than applying for a tourist visa
