I have Been denied a student visa twice this summer (lack of ties to home country) my boyfriend proposed and we have now filed for the k1 visa. Got our NOA1 yesterday and are very excited, people have told me that I should not worry about my past visa denials. True or not?

Also if I decide to apply for the esta and gets denied (wich I'm assuming cause of my previous denials) will this have any impact of our k1 visa?!

I'm just so scared we wait so long and then gets denied because of the other denials!

Ideas?!

True, nothing to worry about.

No affect.

I'm just so scared we wait so long and then gets denied because of the other denials!

Ideas?!

Previous denials do not affect a K-1. Relax, you are fine.

Your previous visas were denied due to lack of ties to home country.

You're now applying for a visa to live in a new country so lack of ties to the old one means nothing.

If you're previous denials had been for anything else it would be different but lack of ties doesn't apply to you any more.

August 2000: We start e-mailing. I'm in Bosnia, she's in Florida

October 29th 2000: She sends me e-mail asking if I would marry her

October 29th 2000(5 seconds later): I say yes

November 2000: She sends me tickets to Orlando for when I get back

December 6th 2000: Return from Bos

December 11th 2000: Fly to Orlando, she meets me at airport

December 22nd 2000: I fly back to UK

January 3rd 2001: She flies to UK (Good times)

Mid February 2001: Pregnancy test Positive

Mid February 2001: She flies back to US

March 2001: Miscarriage, I fly to US on first flight I can get

May 2001: I leave US before my 90 days are up

June 2001: I fly back to US, stopped at airport for questioning as I had only just left

September 2001: Pregnancy test Positive again

September 2001: She falls sick, I make decision to stay to look after her as I am afraid I may have problems getting back in.

April 16th 2002: Our son is born, we start getting stuff together for his passport

March 6th 2003: We leave US for UK as family

Early April 2003: Family troubles make her return to US, I ask Embassy in London about possibilities of returning to US

April 16th 2003: London Embassy informs me that I will be banned from the Visa Waiver Program for 10 years, my little boys first birthday

June 13th 2006: I-129f sent

August 11th 2006: NOA1 Recieved

After our relationship breaks down she admits to me that she had never bothered to start the application process

I used to be an au pair and and was going to be sponsorer first by tjat family and then second time I was going to pay myself, however they asked both times if I was going to work for the family and I feel like this is why they denied me but since they didn't have evidence they have me the "lack of ties" resin instead to deny me.

Does this change anything?

I was not going to work and said that both times

from 2012-2014 I was an au pair and came back to my home country in the hopes to get a student visa and travel back to the USA after the summer.

I was denied - (my hostfamily was going to sponsor me) tried again and this time had a student loan wich is a very common thing to do for swedes. Anyway, school was close to where I used to au pair and both times my consulate asked if I was going to work and I of course said no and gave them tons of information saying the family didn't need me and so on - I was denied both times and I feel like they denied me because they thought I was going to work but since they didn't have any evidence they denied me for "lack of ties to home country"

People tell me I don't need to worry but I just can't get away with the thought that this in somehow could have any kind of impact on my k1 visa..

Will they most likely ask about the student visas under my k1 interview or probably just leave those cases alone?

Did they ask you at the k1 interview about it?

They may ask about any manner of things at the interview, review the VJ K1 sample interview questions for examples. I believe that you will be asked about your prior visas and outcomes on DS-160. That application will be necessary for the embassy/consulate interview portion of the visa application process.

Completed: K1/K2 (271 days) - AOS/EAD/AP (134 days) - ROC (279 days)

You will likely be asked about them, but all you need to do is to tell the truth. As long as you do not try to hide them or lie about them, they should not affect your ability to get the K-1.

I was denied for tourist visa, and still I got K1 , so no worries :)

Were you asked about the tourist visa denial during the interview?

I have Been denied a student visa twice this summer (lack of ties to home country) my boyfriend proposed and we have now filed for the k1 visa. Got our NOA1 yesterday and are very excited, people have told me that I should not worry about my past visa denials. True or not?

Also if I decide to apply for the esta and gets denied (wich I'm assuming cause of my previous denials) will this have any impact of our k1 visa?!

I'm just so scared we wait so long and then gets denied because of the other denials!

Ideas?!

I have heard, however, that information put on your denied visa applications can be asked about during the interivew to check for conistencies.

Click the embassy reviews: http://www.visajourney.com/reviews/

Choose your consulate, click FIND ENTRIES, then when it refreshes, in the TOPIC dropdown menu, select K-1. This will give you a list of all the reviews others have made about their interview process. Some of those will have questions that were asked.
