My fiance applied for a B1 Visa and was denied last August. The consulate let him know several times that he was not being "refused", just not approved bc there wasn't enough evidence that he was planning to return to Ireland. When we receive our NOA2, and he fills out the D60, when asked if he was ever refused entry to the U.S., should he say yes or no? He was not allowed entry, but not technically "refused" according to immigration lingo.

I know the embassy will have all his info on the B1, and do not want to hide anything. I also do not want to raise any more red flags than necessary by answering "yes" if we don't need to. Are they looking for official refusals, or all denials? Does this question make sense? I appreciate any input...

Thanks & Good Luck!

In my opinion you were not denied or refused entry to the U.S. so the answer would be No.... This questions is pertaining to people that are denied entry at the airport or a land border or when their boat has docked......Not for people who have been denied a visa.....There will be a question on the DS-156 which you will fill out that asks "Have you ever been denied a visa" and you will have to put yes and the explain. But, lots of people are denied tourist visa's and you should have no problem with receiving your fiance visa because of this incident.

Fiance(e) who comes from non-VWP countries needs visa to visit US. Plenty have been refused tourist visa. I don't think refusal for tourist visa is equal to refusal of entry.

The DS 156 asks if you have ever been denied a US visa.

No way should you lie about being denied on any forms.

I believe USCIS calls doing so fraud!
