Interview and previous visas

[Sarahnick 19]

During your interview were you asked about previous visas or previous visa refusals?

First, I had a J1 (au pair) visa for two years

Then I applied for a student visa and was refused. Reapplied and was refused again.

They focused a lot on me wanting to go to school where I used to be an pair and had a few questions about me having friends in the area, if I would continue to work for the previous family etc. I was refused cause of too little ties to my home country.

And now a year later me and my fiancé are almost at the end of the k1 (interview in about 3weeks)

And I can't help but to think that those two student visa denials will cause drama with the k1.

Anyone who's been in the same boat? What questions were you asked?

mwnand my fiancé got engaged AFTER the student denials, we have been together since February 2014 (when I was still an au pair in the states)

They shouldn't have a bearing on it. You were denied because you didn't have significant ties to your country- now you are applying for a non-immigrant visa with immigration intent, so you don't require ties to your country. I can't say they won't ask questions about them but just be honest about everything! Rest easy and good luck!!

They did not even ask me of any of my visas. It's not relevant. You will only be asked about you and your fiance. Only question they might ask that is possibly related to the visa is how long you had been in the states before you and your fiance met. That's the question I got.

Yeah I know I won't have to prove ties to home country this time.

I going through all sort of questions in my head every day to make sure I know everything and have a good idea about what they possibly could ask.

And yeah I know I'm making this a lot bigger than it necessary has to be but im really missing my fiancé and I really wants to see an end to this haha.

my fiancee was TOURIST when she first arrived, then she came here again as a TOURIST while she was here she changed her visa to go to language school. then she moved back to her country...

after

She applied 3 times for tourist visa and they denied her in every attempt because of ties situation.... lets see what is going to happen to us in interview..
