Is K1 visa related to the Visa tourist Declined? Urgent help

[Dessy0212 2]

Hi Guys, 

i just new about this forum and nice to meet you all

 

Me and my fiance would like to apply this k1 visa, however i have some case and need your advice before fill up the I-129F.

 

my case:

I was applied a tourist visa with my mom 2 months ago however our visa was declined. In DS160 and interview i ever mentioned that i didnt have any kind of relatives in united states because i saw some youtube that we cannot tell that to meet boyfriend overthere. despite of it, i didnt work again but my previous company willing to help to give a sponsor letter that proof i still work in that company. so in DS160 form i wrote that i still working even though my tourist visa was declined.

 

my question:

1.  Is k1 visa related to the tourist visa that i was apply before?

2. should i mentioned the truth about my previous work? if so, it will be diffrent from the ds160 for tourist visa i was apply. this is also related to my question no.01

 

please answer my questionguys, neeed your help  

THNK YOU SO MUCH

1. K1 application is a separate application from the tourist visa. But you will need to file the DS-160 again before the K1 consulate/embassy interview. So yes, the DS-160 will show up again because I believe the DS-160 is linked to the passport number.

 

2. Best to be truthful and honest about the tourist decline when filing for the I-129F. I believe the I-129F (or DS-160) does ask if you had filed for any previous visas before? In any case, you can include your explanation in the I-129F Part8 for additional information.

OP, going forward, don't take immigration advice from a YouTube video.  Being encouraged to lie never works out in the end.

That is the worst advice I have ever heard.......  NEVER, EVER lie on an immigration or US government form or to an immigration official.  I wish I had a link to that YT video.

yes, in ds-160 there's question if we ever issue any another visa.

my fiance will fill up the I-129F in usa. do you think we need to explain for both of I-129F and DS-160??

USCIS will be able to dig it up anyway. So I would explain the denied tourist visa in the I-129F, Part8, and in the DS-160. And I would even explain that you were mislead by bad advice or YouTube video (if you can find the video). I would maybe even include any evidence like the denial letter or YouTube video in the I-129F, Part8 to avoid the RFE which may further delay the K1.

 

A denied tourist visa in itself does not mean a K1 denial because there are many successful K1 applicants that had previous denials of various visas. But being untruthful or suspicious of hiding something may be grounds for K1 denial.

I would explain the tourist deny in the I-129F, Part8, and mention it again in the DS-160 and that it was explained in the I-129F. You can attach as many evidence in the I-129F as you need including evidence pics of the relationship. List all the additional evidences in your I-129F intro letter and the order in which you organized the I-129F package in the intro letter.

You must tell the TRUTH.   Trying to increase your visa chances by not disclosing required info is not smart.

in I-129F there's no questioning about the deny visa and when i read  its focus on additional document for the relationship it self.

for ds-160 yes, obviously we need to explain about the deny visa.

 

does anyone or you ever mentioned for both?

I would put down anything that might be questioned. For evidence and additional information in I-129F Part8, you can say you tried to visit your partner in the US, but was denied tourist visa and explain why. Any effort to stay in touch is evidence of ongoing relationship.

[Dessy0212 2]

may i ask, i have 3 question like:

 

1. in the form of I-129F there's a question of like "is the beneficiary has been travel to USA before"?  he was fill with answer "NO" as per actual condition.

after 1 -2 month later while the k1 is still being proceed, want to visit my guy with using of visitor visa.   is it will be problem in the officer immigration?

 

2. let say I have visitor visa, when i was fill up the ds160. i was mentioned that i have no any kind relatives in the USA. 

 (my 1st visitor applicant was denied and i tried the 2nd then approved),, at this stage we just know about k1 and want to switch.

 

3. if i go to USA with tourist visa then married there with my fiance (thinking about adjustment status after that)

   is it illegally against the immigration fraud?

 

thank you
