K-1 status confusion

[vbr 0]

Don't know if this is the right forum for this, but think it's relevant.

I'm currently planning to visit family in America over the summer and I need to apply for the ETSA thing. However question F on it has me a little stumped as how to answer. The question is Have you ever been denied a U.S. visa or entry into the U.S. or had a U.S. visa canceled? for reference.

The situation is that over 5 years ago a K-1 visa was filed on my behalf, engaged to fiancee, etc, you get the jist. Things were approved up until the point where I received the letter to schedule an appointment at the Embassy and Medical. However during this time after the letter arrived the engagement broke down and at this point I no longer wished to get married. I never scheduled an appointment at the Embassy or for a medical etc and heard nothing back from the Embassy regarding this.

Which way do you think I should answer on the ETSA form? I'm inclined towards No at the moment due to the fact I've never been denied a U.S. visa as I never attended an interview or medical, I've never been denied entry into the U.S. and I've never had a visa issued to be canceled. Or does my situation count as having one cancelled? Hopefully someone can shed some light on this for me, thank you.

You've not been denied a visa then, as you never actually applied for the K1 (as I'm sure you know, the I-129f petition approval is simple an approval to allow you the possibility to apply for a visa, not an actual visa). Nor has it ever been cancelled (as you were never issued it). You only ever had a petition approved, and that's not what they're asking about.

You should answer "no".

Your answer is NO. ( trying to keep it simple here). Your inclinations are correct.
