PLEASE I NEED ADVICE ON MY CASE

[Teggy 1]

Please i need advice before starting the CR1 process as i'm currently married to a US citizen. I have once applied for F1 visa my masters program at the US embassy but i was denied about 4 times straight with the same I-20 admission letter, reason was that my lawyer stated in my DS160 that i have an uncle in Los Angeles, california and my school is in Anaheim not far from LA. that was around 2014 June {2 times} got denied then my admission letter expired and i wrote the school to send me a new admission letter  for intakes which was around August and i still got denied [2 times]. Because during my 4th interview the consular was asking me { why california and is it because my uncle is there]. Then i tried admission to Russia for my masters program and i got the visa, when i was in my second year I applied for B1/B2 conference visa for seminar in Tulare california and i still got denied that was in 2016 january. 

  Now i'm married to US citizen this year MARCH and she is from my country and we are planning to file out I-130 petition, she live in New york. my fear now is that, hope i wont have problem during the interview because of my previous visa attempt. I am sorry for long write up,just want to be explanatory enough.

big reason of first denail was usually the college or uniersity attorney handles these visas

really the important thing now establish a serious and strong bond of marriage and  your USC wife does the application not u

upload the application with evidence of several meetings and a long term relationship

Please do not keep starting threads with the same question - I have removed the duplicate thread.

 

As has already been mentioned, denials for non-immigrant visas do not necessarily affect immigrant visa applications. I'm guessing that your previous denials were due to suspected immigration intent and not because you are generally inadmissible (criminal record? drug user?).

 

The focus now should be on establishing evidence that the marriage is bona fide, in other words that you have married for love, not to get a visa to the USA. If you can satisfy them that this is a genuine relationship, and assuming you meet all other criteria regarding your character and conduct, then you should have nothing to worry about.

front loading means send evidence with petition that the petitioner has made several visits and you too have a bona fida marriage

My dad was denied  non-immigrant visa over 10 times, however when he went in for his immigrant visa interview there were no issues. Immigrant visa is issued if there are no ineligibilities like criminal record, misrepresentation, drug issues etc.

For the father of a US Citizen yes.  For a spouse, not quite.  For a spouse there must also be sufficient evidence of a bona fide relationship.  For a parent, only evidence of the blood or adoptive relationship is required.

In a spouse case, it's not the denial of a non-immigrant visa that CAN be a problem in certain situations.  It's the APPLICATION for one.  Usually not a problem though.

please what do you mean by " it's not the denial of a non-immigrant visa that CAN be a problem in certain situations.  It's the APPLICATION for one" ?

[pushbrk 13,033]

Applying for several non-immigrant visas prior to marrying a USC citizen, can sometimes look like the marriage relationship is less important than getting to the USA.  It can take away from the appearance the marriage is genuine.

 

The reasons for non-immigrant visa denials are usually because you don't have enough evidence of ties to the home country.  For an immigrant visa, you need evidence the relationship is genuine "bona fide".  In some cases it is the attempt to get a non-immigrant visa that is the problem, not the denial of the application.
