Tourist visa refusal

Hi guys

Ive been refused for a tourist visa,,,and I was refused twice before in 2008 for a student visa. Do you think it would be hard to get approved for a K1 visa now??

No, those will have no affect on a K-1. Do read up on the regional forum about the particular requirements and quirks of your Embassy.

In reading posts from the newsgroup, not often. The K1/K2 visa application process is handled by the US State Department through the US Consulates. USCIS (INS) is not involved at this stage. It is assumed the fiance(e) meets the requirements for medical test, police records, etc. The newsgroup has experienced denials based on failure to disclose a prior minor criminal offense, and failure to disclose a visa overstay during a previous visit to the US. It wasn't the necessarily the minor crime or the overstay that caused the denial, but in both cases, the applicants did not admit to them.

If you have some sort of past problem, you will have a better chance at getting the K1 visa if you are honest and forthright. In early 1999, a UK man received a K1 despite past minor criminal problems, and he attributed his success to his total honesty. Depending on the particular reason for denial, a waiver may be available.
