Hi everyone, Great site.

I am a US citizen going to visit my Fiance in Dubai, an Iraninan national for the first time in a few days. We are planning to apply for a visitor Visa for her.

I am planning to file for K-1 when I return from Dubai.

If her B-2 application is denied which is very likely, May that hurt her case for K1 when it gets apporved??

Thanks much

You are right. The B-2 isn't likely to be approved. However if it is approved, it will not affect your chances later on in the K-1 visa petition or interview. If it is denied, I think it should not matter. She just needs to say she wanted to spend time with you in the USA but it was denied. No big deal.

It shouldn't hurt her case. My wife's student visa was denied (but that was 8 years before I applied for K-1 for her) and during the interview they didn't even ask us about it (or photos etc)

They did mention that since I was present during her interview, that in itself was a big factor for them to judge that the relationship was real.

I'm going through a similar process right now. In our case, the K-1 has already been filed and we're in the "waiting for the NOA-2" phrase. We're going for a B-2 in the meantime.

Everyone I've spoken to with personal experience and/or authority with this has stated that a B-2 denial will have no affect on a K-1 as long as you are/were truthful during the B-2 process.

K-1 Timeline:

2010/02/08: I-129F package sent via USPS Express Mail

2010/02/12: Received at CSC by Linda Fairbanks

2010/02/16: NOA-1 issued

2010/02/17: Check cashed (no legible receipt number on back)

2010/02/22: NOA-1 hardcopy received

2010/04/02: Touched

2010/04/04: Touched again (Easter Sunday?!?)

2010/04/05: Email/text notification of NOA-2

2010/04/05: NOA-2 Notice Date on I-797

2010/04/12: I-129F received by NVC

2010/04/15: I-129F petition left NVC for Moscow

2010/04/16: I-129F petition enjoys a layover in Cincinnati, OH

2010/04/18: I-129F petition hangs out in Vitoria, Spain

2010/04/20: I-129F petition drinks a bit too much lager in Leipzig, Germany

2010/04/22: I-129F petition arrives in Moscow, looking like it was rode hard and put away wet

2010/04/25: Emailed the U.S. Embassy in Moscow asking for interview date
