My fiancee' applied for a tourist visa September 2011 and was denied due to not enough proof of country ties. We plan to pursue the K-1 visa in the fall of this year. However, he has an extended break from attending his university and teaching this summer; Is there anyway we could obtain a tourist visa for him to come visit during his break? If so, how? Also, if a tourist visa is not obtainable, what could be another option? Any suggestions or advice is helpful.

The first time he went for a tourist visa he took the below proof:

1. Letter from his job stating his employment

2. Letter from his university stating his enrollment and anticipated graduation date August 2013

3. Letter from his pastor showing his involvement in his local community

4. Bank statement

5. Letter from me inviting him to visit when we were friends at the time.

6. Some of the other necessary proof.

7. I can't remember the rest, but it was alot.

I just really would love for him to visit here instead of me making my 3rd trip there.

Thank you.

-Met in Ghana August 2011

-Went back to Ghana April 2012

-Went back to Ghana December 2012

-Married to the man God created just for me on January 4th, 2013.

-Filed the CR-1 in February 2013

-Petition Transfered from National Benefits Center to Texas Service Center October 2013

-Petition APPROVED January 2014 (*Took 10 Months 19 Calendar Days)

-Case Number/Invoice Identification Number Assigned February 2014 (*Took 33 Calendar Days)

-Approved Interview May 2014

-Arrival May 2014

Now, We are Prayerfully taking everything 1 day at a time. Thanking God for his blessings and grace.

All he can do is apply for a visitor visa and show strong ties to home. There really aren't any other options.

A holiday in the US is not exactly cheap, the fact that he is a Student and has that sort of disposable cash must be a plus sign.

If your fiance had proof of school enrollment AND employment and he STILL got denied for a tourist visa, then chances are he would have a hard time getting approved if he applies again. Applying and continually getting denied for tourist visa and then applying for a K-1 could also potentially harm the chances of getting approved for the K-1. Aside from having a wife and kids in Ghana, I dont think there is much more that he could prove of 'having ties' than what he has already presented. If you know that you definitely want to marry him, then maybe just move forward with the K-1 and not try the tourist visa again. Wishing you the best !!

So many people abuse the tourist visa to get to the US and get a case of the horny bug that causes spontanous marriage that it has become hard for a single person to prove they are really intending to be a tourist and not inclined to catch this horney bug during their trip.

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.
