K1 Process in Colombia

[Karen Mejia 2]

Good Afternoon

I'm from Colombia and my Fiance is an American citizen, we have all the documents and forms ready for the K1 process but I have a question if anyone here could tell me the answer or maybe give some advices.

I was living in Florida for 6 months last year I have a B1/B2 visa and it was my first trip there, the purpose of my trip was vacation but when I was boarding the plane to get back to my Country an inmigration officer stopped me and asked a lot of questions about my permanency there, finally he told me that maybe I could have problems if I wanted to come back there because nobody has vacations for 6 months as I said.

Do you think this could affect our K1 process?

US doesn't have exit control so I am not sure who you spoke with.   But the simple is it should have no effect on the k1

Thanks for your answer, and the same thing told me two american friends about the inmigration officer, it was something very rear because they were in front of the boarding gate.

It will not influence your application. Immigration and Immigration Officers tend to be intimidating. I wouldn't pay any attention to their remarks. If the IO were not at a computer screen with your documents making notes within your "record" then I wouldn't pay any attention to it.

 

There is a sub-forum for your country/region here on VJ where others from Columbia are discussing their journey and could be a useful resource for information.

And once last item, we need a little housekeeping on your end. Many of our answers are predicated on the information you supply in your profile. When we look at the left column and can't determine your timeline OR your Embassy it's hard for us to give you a factual answer. Our answers will sometimes be tailored to a specific Embassy hence the reason for you to complete your profile. If you look at the profile of others here, they have a flag for their country, so it makes it easy for us to reply as we can quickly determine their Embassy. The country that should be used is the country where the interview will take place.
 
So, if you could help yourself out and complete your profile that sure would help us out when we want to reply to your question with factual information.

If nobody takes 6 month holidays, then why does the USA grant 6 month stays. 

 

It was a careless comment.

[MrHanky 1,377]

Are you sure it was an immigration officer or was it just a person asking security questions to passengers?

 

Also just to confirm, your visa allowed for 6 months right?

Some people might only get 3.

 

Otherwise, like everyone else said, you should be fine.
