K1 visa

[Jassem 0]

Hello,,my fiance applying for a k1 visa from October but until now we don't have any answer,,we can apply for a tourist visa the time we wait for k1 visa?

You can always apply for a B2 visitor visa if you can get an appointment at your local consulate.  The results of the B2 application will not impact your subsequent K1 as long as you do not misrepresent anything on the B2 application.

 

Good Luck!

There is no requirement for invitation from US family or friends to apply for B2 visa.  Actually, showing an invitation from a fiance may even lower your chances of being granted a B2.

What country?

 

She is unlikely to get a tourist visa while waiting for a K-1.  Getting a tourist visa would allow her to enter the US, marry, and adjust status and make the K-1 moot.  Consular officers are well aware of this tactic and everyone is a similar situation is treated as wanting to take the shortcut.

An invitation can be taken to the interview.  It's not considered in granting or denying the visa.  The CO can refuse to even look at it.

It's there is a way to make the process faster of the k1 visa?

Marry and file to adjust as soon as you can after entry.

No. Immigration and Fast don’t really like each other. Immigration process are long and tedious.

 

The only faster way is for the US citizen or LPR visit you in your home country.

No.  There is nothing you can do to make the process faster.  

Immigration to the US is not fast.

u can apply for the tourist visa

being from Tunisia ,  it is highly unlikely to have an approval

u need strong ties to Tunisia to show u will return after the visit

this means owning property in Tunisia,  having a job to return to,  and money to support the visit

knowing the K1 is in the system,  even if CO granted the tourist visa,  u could be turned back at US POE and put on the next plane back

You are only four months into the entire process.   You likely have a year and a half before you get a visa.
