Being denied a tourist visa from Vietnam will not hurt your case for a spouse visa. As you know, it is difficult to obtain a tourist visa through HCMC.

Are you the beneficiary or petitioner?

The beneficiary should be prepared to explain at the interview why they applied twice for a tourist visa and now are applying for a K-3 or CR-1. Also, look at timing. When were the 2 tourist visa applications filed compared to your current I-130 filing? Was the current petitioner the same person listed as providing support on the 2 tourist visa applications? If yes, it will make explaining easier. If not, be prepared to explain why you are so eager to get to the US.

It is very, very difficult to get a tourist visa application approved from HCMC. They are very concerned about visa fraud and will give a tourist visa only if they are very confident that you will visit the US and return to VN. They look for the applicant to have significant assets in VN as a way to feel sure that you have a strong reason to return. It's nothing personal about you, it's just business.

Im beneficiary. The first interview i was going to see my closed friend in CT in September that we did not fill I-130 and the second for visiting my husband's family that we filled 1 week before. Now i give up travel visa, so much time and money for interview :wacko: But my husband and I are worry about it can hurt spouse visa. I wish it would not hurt spouse visa as anhmap said.

Tks a lot for your sharing.

Having a rejected tourist visa won't hurt the spousal visa at all if the reason for the rejection was failure to establish sufficient ties to the home country. And that is the most common reason for rejection of a tourist visa.

If the reason for the rejection of the tourist visa was something else, such as lying on a visa form, or a criminal background, then that would still be a reason to reject the spousal visa, so it would still present a problem. This isn't common, but is possible.

It isn't the stated reason for the rejection that is the cause for concern here. The OP is from Vietnam, which is a high fraud post. The concern that I have on behalf of the OP is that they are appearing very anxious to get to the US and in Vietnam, that can make a CO very suspicious about motive/intent. They now have 3 applications (well, 2 applications and a petition) in 4 months. Also, the timing of the marriage will come into play. If you were married before September, why were you trying to visit a friend in the US instead of your spouse?

Specifically, just applying for a tourist visa will not hurt your chances for a spouse visa...many people do this without problems. But you need to assess your personal circumstances and be fully prepared to address the questions that could arise at the interview.

OP, does your USC husband live with you in Viet Nam?
