Will being denied for a B2 tourist Visa affect chances for a CR1?

[neoflasher 3]

As stated by my title my wife had been denied a tourist visa (B2) two times in the past once in 2005 and another one in 2008. I was wondering if this would affect our CR1 process now. At the time she was denied we were not married. I had been living in Dominican Republic since 2000 and actually returned in 2008. That is the last time she attempted the tourist visa attempt in order to come see me. If anyone has any input with this please let me know. In the i130 app I actually forgot about this and answered question #16 which states "Has your relative ever been under immigration proceedings?" We answered no being that the process was never commenced since she didn't meet the requirements. Please let me know what you think I should do regarding our answer to that question if anything or if her two previous apps for a tourist visa will affect her CR1 now. Thanks in advance

A denied tourist visa application won't affect a CR-1, unless the reason for denial was something like a criminal background.

The section about "immigration proceedings" is asking about facing deportation or having actually been deported. If that doesn't apply to you, the answer is no.

Won't matter one bit unless the reason for denial was past overstay or criminal history.

It wont affect unless the denial was because of fraud.

My husband was denied twice for a tourist visa before we got married. We both wanted him to come to the US to meet my family, which is normal. The denial of his tourist visa application did not impact his CR1 visa nor did the embassy ask him any questions in regards to the tourist visa.

Good luck.

It doesnt effect. I was denied once for B1/B2 visa ( 3 years back ).
