Visa Denied - US Consulate Mumbai

[AFT...Ths 1]

You visited him once, how many times has he visited you?

We tried that, he was denied a tourist visa in Kolkata.

When did you meet? Ans. 2009

For a K1 you have to have met within the last 2 years.

I would guess he has not been able to visit her. I dont know why but it seems hard for Indians to get a tourist visa to the USA. My fiance was denied one and I know at least 10 others that have been denied as well.

I was in India in 2012, he was denied his tourist visa in 2011. I immediately applied for a visit and went to India In june of 2012.

So you visited twice?

Sorry this happened to you.

I think the denial had to do with your divorce timeline. You began a romantic relationship (perhaps say fiance) while you were still married. Even though you filed for your fiance after your divorce, the fact that you were seeing this person while still married may call for attention. If I were the CO, I would ask myself if the fact that you began seeing your fiance was the cause of you heading to a divorce with your wife.

Hopefully for you USCIS revalidates your case once the consulate returns it. Otherwise, start thinking of marrying your fiancee and file for CR1.

Sorry again

I think you are right, I just wish I had provided separation proof before hand. Thinking about a Dec Marriage in Manipur, In. :-)

So you visited twice?

No once in 2012.

Having only met once , and only for a short period of time is the reason for the denial.

When did you meet? Ans. 2009

When did you start your romantic relationship? Ans. 2010

I am confused, could you write down an accurate timeline, as presumably the above is incorrect.

If this is what was said to the Consulate probably did not help matters.

Which you actually just brought up a good point I was curious about. When they ask you that question, are you supposed to answer when you first met, or when you last met?

When I filled out the I-129F, I listed an attachment that explained when we first met online, in person, but then followed it with a history of all the trips we've made and when we've seen each other recently. So all of that was provided.

But when they interview you, are you supposed to answer when did you first meet, or when did you last see each other?

Granted, in my case, whenever that day comes next year I actually plan on attending the interview, but is a valid question.

Also, to make sure I'm not hijacking this thread, I offer my condolences on your visa denial. My fiancee was denied a B2 before, and the heartache was quite painful. I had planned on proposing during the 6 month visit with the B2...and the government sadly took opportunity that away from me...so we filed for K1 instead 3 months later and I kind of had to let "the cat out of the bag" in regards to my proposal plans...

UK not usually a problem, most odd for London to see people who have only met once.

Presumably not eligible for the VWP?

If you are referring to me, yes, no longer she's eligible for the VWP due to now having the B2 denied.

In my case, I had to let the cat out of the bag on filling out the I-129F (since she has to send me the G form and the fiancee letter of intent), but I do at least plan on surprising her with the ring after I receive the NOA2 (I'm guessing Feb 2014)

That is not a reason for not being eligible to use the VWP.
