Is this my 2nd or 3rd K1 application?

[carwhisperer 1]

In 2016 i applied for a K1 visa. It was accepted but my fiancé changed her mind before going to the interview. In 2018 I obtained a K1 visa for a different woman, who came to the US for 70 days. We decided not to marry so she want home, fully complying with the laws and rules. 
 

Being a glutton for punishment I'm considering applying for another K1 for a girl I met a year ago. 
 

I realize there is a lifetime cap of 2 K1 visas per applicant. Since the first one was not fully approved (no interview) is it possible that this could be considered my second K1?

 

Would this be a matter of interpretation for the technician who receives the application? Has anyone heard of someone applying under similar circumstances?
 

I realize VJ is always above board so of course I only expect straight answers based on fact, not hypotheticals or emotions.

IMO, this would be your third time filing for K1, which requires a waiver as you already filed twice in the past

In 2016, you had one approved I-129F petition.

In 2018, you had a second approved I-129F petition.

These are the circumstances that count.

have u thought to marry and go that route as your past 2 K1 will make things suspect

You already petitioned twice.  You will need to file a waiver.

Your current I12F petition will be your 3rd...

Just to be clear, you never applied for a K-1 visa. A US citizen does not need a visa (or can even get a visa) to the US, for obvious reasons. Foreigners apply for visas to the US.

You filed a petition. This will be your third petition, yes.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe there's only a limit if it's within a 2 year period? You can file multiple i-129f petitions if they are 2 or more years apart and you don't need a waiver if so. Hopefully someone who knows for absolute sure can chime in.

Ah okay, that makes sense. I knew there was a 2 year something rule but misunderstood it. So forget what I posted about possibly not needing a waiver.
