Couple of questions on Form

[BFHammer 0]

Form DS-156.

Question 38. Have you ever been refused admission to the US, or....

My fiancee did get refused on a student visa last year. Is that the same as being refused admission or is that just at a port of entry?

I've asked before, but Question 31. Have you ever been refused a U.S. Visa? I think we have to put yes here and put in her student visa...I was told this shouldn't affect the K-1, but it looks like a question they could give us flak about.

Thanks

for Q.38, I understood it as refused entry at a POE (Port Of Entry) by a CBP officer. So a denied VISA doesn't apply to this question but as you said you have to mention it for Q.31

Take this with caution as it is only my interpretation and I may be wrong. If I am wrong I hope someone will correct me.

This is a POE redusal of entry. In your case, No.

IN your case, Yes, the student visa. Dont' worry be truthful, they will check your answer against their records. If they match, then you should be good to go.

She has NOT been refused entry. She HAS been denied a visa. Answer truthfully. Neither will affect your K-1
