B1-B2 Visa Selecting interview date Step #7

Hello all,

My husband has completed his DS-160 application,  paid the fee and is at the point of selecting an interview date. My question is for Step #7, the question states "Have you been refused a visa in the last 12 months ". Does that  only apply to only B1/B2 (Tourist visa) or All visa's? We were denied our K1 visa in February 2019 and I'm thinking that answer should be "yes" but I'm also on the fence and want to answer "no" because the question didn't state "any visa". The question is kind of misleading or maybe,  I'm overthinking the question. Thanks in advance for any responses. 

Lol. It also didn’t say “have you been refused the same type of visa you are applying for”, right?! Any visa is the correct interpretation.  If you say no it’s going to look like a false answer (and obviously will be caught out) which will look really bad considering there has already been one denial.

Interpret the question literally, and quit trying to split hairs. The question is not necessarily misleading, it is open-ended.

In my opinion it’s a complete waste of money. He has better odds of winning the Powerball even without a ticket. Now if it were a B1 Visa where he was coming for something related to his company, it would have a very slightly higher probability of success although still close to zero. 

 

This is a desperation move, won’t end in success. But then $160 application fee is not a lot of money.

Almost like OP would be trying to hide the truth because she knows that it would affect their B2 visa application. Almost.

Hiding what? There is no need in hiding anything so, your absolutely wrong!

If he succeeds in getting a B2, how long does he plan to stay in the US?

It could be argued that the attempt to get a B2 visa is a "hail mary" attempt to get inside the US to avoid the long CR-1 process.........I'm not accusing you of that, but it could be seen as such.

No, I'm not avoiding the CR1 process at all! And besides, there's no benefit (other than visiting ) for him staying in the country on B2 Visa and  he's not being able to work. With a pending CR1 application (which I have ready to be mailed), I'm sure that he will most definitely be denied a B2 visa. I'm not getting my hopes up but, I'm going to try. And if it's not approved,  then I'll move forward. I'm not going to get bent out of shape about this and thank you.

About a month and then we're going to fly back to his country and I'll stay there a month with him or as much time as I'm allowed to stay there but not over stay my visit.

Personally, I would get that I-130 in the mail as soon as possible......Processing times are not getting much faster for CR1s.

You are not fooling anyone, you have already shown by your OP you are not trustworthy, he would overstay and you know it, so will the CO that's why he will be rightfully (and hopefully) denied his B2.

@ElDiablo, thanks for your opinion, haters are everywhere. You have yourself a wonderful day and be blessed.

Why not just skip his visit here out of that plan? File the I-130 and go spend a month over there since getting a visa for him looks like it's not too likely? I know being apart is the worst, but doing everything right going forward, and making it easy for USCIS to see you are doing everything right can only help.
