If I Apply for a K1, will that cancel my Tourist Visa?

[wayfarer1983 0]

Thoughts?

Thought Id also ask some questions I asked in the New Members forum

Just a couple questions:

1. I've been looking at timelines (they're so very helpful!)and I was wondering what "Touched" means?

2. Haven't really looked through a lot of posts, but what's the earliest that I could go to the US under K1? I've been wanting a February wedding. I always fancied myself to be a February bride!

3. What are the odds of me getting denied a Visa, and if I do, what will happen to my tourist visa?

Thank you!

Touched means exactly that, your file was handled. It basically means nothing. It could have been counted, moved, filed, etc. Don't get too excited over a 'touch'

The length of your process can depend on the country the beneficiary is from. For example, if you interview in Montreal, it is a very slow consulate and averages 4 months from NVC to an interview.

Good luck

Umit still has a valid B-2 visa in her passport. (she came over on a K-1)

Thanks for the replies!

Bobby, that's great to hear!

Also, was wondering if I could travel to the US while my K1 is pending?

If you have a valid visa, and you can conform to the requirements of said visa/visit, yes, you can.
