I was denied entry last Oct. 27, under sec212(a)(7)(A)((I).What happened was I went there to spend my b-day with my fiance i was ssupposed to stay in my sisters house for 2 wks . When i was on myway already i commited a grave mistake of putting my fiance's add. instead of my sister's home add. coz i forgot to ask her, her new add. coz she just moved to a new house.so upon arrival i was lead to 2ndary inspection coz of my last visit wherein i stayed for 5 mos. coz they wanted to know if I i worked there on my last trip w/c never really happened. but during questioning i was asked abt. the add. i told them that it was my sister's add. coz I was scared that they wouldn't let me in if they found out that I have a fiance there, eventually they discovered the truth.They gave me an option of Withdrawal of Application for Admission which I took. my tourist visa got cancelled.My fiance intends to file K1 visa so we can finally be together my question is do we need to include the paperwork regarding my case to the attachmnts required for the K1 visa application or should i just bring it and mention it if ever i get interviewed.Thanks a lot everyone for your time!

If I remember correctly, the I 129f asks if you've ever been denied entry into the US. You will have to answer 'yes'. Lying is not something I would recommend, esp. as they'll know anyway.

Denial of entry does not necessarily mean you'll be denied the K1, but lying about denial of entry could.

I would not include the paperwork on the denial of entry unless they ask you for it (I'm sure they already have what they need in the computer anyway), but maybe someone else here will have a different opinion.

If I remember correctly, they don't ask about refused addmissions until you get to the actual visa process. I don't think it's on the I-129F, but on one of the consulate level visa application forms. Having an entry denied doesn't mean you won't get a visa this time. Just make sure if you are asked about it at the consulate, that you can explain yourself and the situation, and that you answer truthfully on the forms.

The question about whether you have been denied entry to the US is on the DS 156. And yea, I'd suggest the same thing, that you should answer yes and be prepared to give a good explanation when they ask you to. Good luck.

You will most likely need to file a waiver at the Consulate level. There is a forum for that here that you should review so that you can be prepared for what that involves. Do some searching in this forum:

Good luck!

This is an offense that should not require a I-601 waiver... Basically this is the portion of the INA that states that you have immigrant intent and therefore they can't let you enter without an immigrant visa.

But your trips to the US are done until you get the K-1 or Immigrant Visa...

Yep, exactly correct. You can look up the relevant paragraph of the INA in the "laws and regulations" section of the uscis.gov site. I've extracted some text here:

Immigrants.-

(i) In general.-Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Act, any immigrant at the time of application for admission-

(I) who is not in possession of a valid unexpired immigrant visa, reentry permit, border crossing identification card, or other valid entry document required by this Act, and a valid unexpired passport, or other suitable travel document, or document of identity and nationality if such document is required under the regulations issued by the Attorney General under section 211(a) , or

They called you an immigrant because you didn't prove yourself to be a non-immigrant. And being an immigrant, you were supposed to have an immigrant visa, but you didn't.

This is a very common situation, and it's a non-event as far as getting and using a K-1 visa. You must not conceal it, hide it, or lie about it when asked, but as long as you're up front about it, it won't cause a problem, and no waiver or other extra paperwork will be required.

=Thanks for responding, I double checked the I129F form there was no question in particular regarding if ever u've been denied entry into the US.If there was I will definitely answered yes coz' I don't want to commit the same mistake again.But there is none that's why I'm concern if were gonna include the paperwork already or shall I just wait if ever I get interviewed.

Sorry about that - Detty is right, its on the DS 156 form. I knew I had seen it somewhere!
