K1 after a previous J! denial (split)

[Lej22 0]

Hello,

 

I have one question. My fiance filling form for me, for K1 visa.

I have been denied for J1 student visa before our relationship. We are 4 years in the relationship.

Is it problem? Do I have a red flag in embassy?

Thanks a lot.

Really? I thought we were here to help each other? I was kind of interested in the question and don't really get the whole proper topic think myself but I do try. When I post and it needs to go somewhere else there are those who move it for me ( I don't get how they do that as well) so I can be in the right place. Not everyone understands technology etiquette. Do you know the answer to the question before direction the question to some other space and time please?🙏

 J1 is a visa. K1 is also a visa, but it is  2 different TYPEs.

There is many visas of different type, there are rules and regulations you must follow when you apply for certain type of visa.
In general after denial of any type of visa you need wait 1 to 2 years( as they classify it as sufficient time limit for personal circumstances to change (improve)).

Don't worry you don't have any red flag, only terrorists and people on the watch list  have red flags.

Look at your history with US embassy, they know about you only what you tell them.

Anyone can apply for a US visa at embassy so what? It does not give you any privilege but be careful,  don't show them constant pattern of to many attempts.

No red flag.  Proceed

Depends on the reason for the refusal. Some requirements are the same between a J visa and a K visa. Many are different.

The most likely reason - by very far - for the J refusal would be INA 214(b): lack of ties to return home. If this was the reason for refusal, then it won't impact a K visa at all as a K visa has no such requirement to return home.

If the reason was - for example only - misrepresentation, then that would be an issue for a K visa as well.

 

The refusal itself would not be an issue for a K visa.

I am not aware of the context here so I can only speak generally...

 

The best way to get answers to somebody's question(s) is by utilizing their own thread. This is because:

1) The answers to the questions may differ from that in the other thread owner's case. Different circumstances = possibly different issues.

2) When there are multiple people asking questions ins a single thread, it becomes very easy to lose track of what circumstances apply to which person, and the accuracy of the responses will suffer as a result.

3) For future questions they may ask, one can easily go and looks at their past topics for additional information that may be relevant to their new question.

4) That's the rules. Even if 1-3 didn't apply, this does.

 

Also, the goal of moving and splitting threads is to help each other is the best manner possible.

Mods have the ability to split threads and such (like what happened here).

Organizers and mods and can move an entire thread to a different forum.

General users cannot perform these operations.

Sorry I have been without a computer until now. As Geowrian mentioned below. Posting questions in another persons thread can not only cause confusion to the thread but the new person's question can also be skipped over and they may never get an answer. 

We move threads because we want that member to get the best possible answer. If you accidentally post a question in the wrong forum. Someone may not see where you are at in your journey and answer it as if the question is about a completely different process.

I was denied because I did not qualify for a visa. After a few days I went out for an interview again and was denied again. That year, a lot of students were denied because a year ago, a lot of students stayed illegal in the USA. I'm worried if it will affect my k1 visa because they may think I just want to enter America and stay illegal.

We have very large proof that we are in a real relationship, but I am very woried about visa denials in the past.

I was denied a visa in March, and we started dating in May, same year.

As Geowrian said above, the refusal of the J1 visa won't be an issue unless it was denied on the basis of misrepresentation/false statements by you.

You may get a little more scrutiny on the k1 if you're applying soon after the refusal of another visa. As with any k1, the more face to face time you spend with each other, the better. What country are you from?

I don't think we understood each other. I was denied in March 2017. Since May 2017, my fiancé and I have been in a relationship. We have been in a relationship for 3 and a half years and this month we submitted a petition for a K1 visa.

It shouldn't be too much of a problem then. 3 years is plenty of time. Good luck
