Hi there my names Jon

. I worked in the U.S. in the summer of last year (2013).

. Thats where I first met my fiance (girl friend at the time).

. Went back to the U.K. at the end of the summer.

. Visited for christmas 2013 into the new year 2014 & for my birthday in early January.

. Went back to the U.K. in early January.

. Traveled back to the U.S. and was planning on staying with my girl friend (Now fiance) for 2 months (before I started work at a theater company in Essex U.K.) When I got to the CBP officers I was denied entry because they said i didn't have enough money & I didn't have enough strong ties to my home country :(

. I applyed for a B2 visa very quickly but because I didn't have pay slips from work or a work contract I was denied a visa

. My girl friend (Now Fiance) traveled to the U.K. to visit me & we did loads of things like go to Harry Potter World, a Three day trip to Barcelona Spain as well as get Engaged.

We have finished putting together our K1 visa application & my fiance is going to send it out soon.

I just wanted to know

Is it worth me applying for a B2 visa just so I can visit my fiance for christmas while our K1 visa is pending?

I have loads of pay slips from work now as well as my work contract which I didn't have in my previous B2 visa application.

Is it wise for me to let the K1 visa just go through and not go for the B2 visa, Or will I be fine with the B2 visa process & will I get accepted?

Thank you so much for taking the time out to read this

Jon

Sounds a long shot, but no harm.

**** Moving from K1 to Tourist Visa forum as this question is about that visa *****

You can try again, the petition for the K1 shows you want to do things the legal way, which may help. I agree it is a long shot though.

You already got the NO. If I were you (and had the 160 bucks to spare) I would go ahead and try again. Your situation has changed as you now have pay slips.. perhaps other ties to your home country would play in your favor (lease, car payment, school program, etc).
