K1 visa denied

[maylaw 3]

There was a misunderstanding I guess. When he filed the DS 160 he did said he was refused a visa once. What I said is when preparing for this interview we forgot about the fact that he said there he was a family friend. Also he has never been married before

Whole new information! 

 

If the interview went like this post is going, that may also explain the situation of misunderstandings....

Would explain the denial.  It sounds like he was vague/evasive/lying in the past interview about the truth of your relationship, and it came back to bite him during this one.  Not so much a "misunderstanding" if he told the CO he was a family friend only, and hid the truth he was in a full relationship with you during that time.  CR-1 is an alternative option for you now.

They ask that in the DS-160 form.

The i-129f is the petition by the petitioner for the beneficiary to be allowed to apply for the K-1 visa.

 

When the Beneficiary is applying for the visa itself, thats where the question is asked. 

Thank you both... huge relief and will fully disclose on the proper form.

I just searched high and low through my application and cannot find an answer about past visa denial. We have a similar denial in our past but have the info, senators letter, etc. to tell the story (we were work colleagues at the time). 

 

Does anyone see where on the I-129 it asks this questions?

I believe it is asked in both DS-160 and DS-260. I can't be too sure if it was asked in I-129F (I filled that out too long ago). But I can tell you I'm pretty sure any form a non-citizen has to fill up for entry into USA, including the ESTA application for citizens of Visa-Waiver countries, has this question. I filled one just yesterday when I changed my passport.

I just checked online and it's saying the case is on administrative processing. What does that means?

Did they keep the passport? Or did they return the passport back?

And were married.

Or say “I didn’t know you couldn’t get married on a K1 before entering the country”. That is by far my favorite answer on VJ.

It’s not on the 129f. It’s on the ds-160 that they ask that.

That doesn’t seem right either because having a family friend in the States will have no bearing on the K1.

Normally, all cases go through some form of administrative processing.  It can be hours, days, weeks, months, or (rarely) years. But since you earlier said " The paperwork he received says he his not eligible and they will return the petition to USCIS ", it would seem reasonable that it means they are processing the return to USCIS.

No they didn't

 

So he was denied and they did not give him any kind of paperwork as to why he was denied? Weird....

First, she said "No, they didn't"....then she said " None of those things mentioned. The paperwork he received says he his not eligible and they will return the petition to USCIS "

 

I'm not sure, at this point, that ANYONE other than the fiance knows what really happened..

It honestly sounds like something came up during the interview and he got called out on something by the CO. Now he is just to ashamed to tell his fiancé what actually happened. Which as you know it would not be the first time something like this happened here on VJ.
