Have been denied B1B2 twice both on conferences .The first was Feb 2017 and the second was June 2018.My fiancee is a Nigerian and we've been dating for the past 8 years .She came to Nigeria Dec 2015 and spent 2 weeks and the second time was October 2018 where she spent 19days.She's single and am single too and all through my previous application haven't claimed married before where so many do this for visa reason She started with the K1 processing 2018 November (ending) and my interview comes up nextweek.But we made another trip to Dubai March to April this year for her birthday where we spent 10 days there .Just worried about  the time frame between my denial (b1b2) and the filling.

If the previous B2 denial were due to lack of strong ties to your country (most common reason for denial), it will have no negative effect on a K-1 or CR-1 visa.

Yep...

The only things from a B2 denial that affects other visas are lies you tell.  You know the results of claiming to be married ( they ask for proof of divorce)  If you didn't lie you are fine.

I can tell you from personal experience, if what you stated is what it is without leaving anything out, you are good. Remember, lots of pictures and other related records should not be left out. You will probably be asked about your previous applications, just say it as it is, they know there is nothing wrong with being denied in the past and applying again as long as you are consistent with some basic information about your self which you stated in the previous applications : parents' info , addresses, past academic and employment info. Those info don't change, so I hope you have the copies of your past application forms? go through them to avoid any red flags.

I will urge you to read the threads of someone who just got a K-1 denied in Lagos . The red flags were obvious but the person didn't indicate all that here  before the interview :

 

Good luck!

I think the only mistake I made from my first denial was my parents date of birth which I corrected in my second application but still maintain same date(corrected date) in my K1 application .Regards to my employment info having a change of job(which i think this ain't a big deal ) but the for the rest I think am fine 

[CharleneB 112]

Great, I made similar mistake on my 1st application  too but I corrected it as well, so that should be fine.

As long as you can backup the reason for trip to US is for a conference. Was it in the same city as your fiance'. Sometimes that gets people too wanting the Visa for other reasons then whats stated on application. But it looks fine.
