K-1 and returned home

[Rail 0]

My fiancee recieved a fiancee visa over a year ago and came to the U.S. She stayed 45 days and decided not to marry and returned home to Colombia. I was wondering if this will effect us in any way. I would think the 2nd time would be easier since she was approved recently. Thanks for any comments.

Not sure about "easier" but you can bet they'll ask her what happened at the interview. She should just make sure to have all her ducks in a row and be able to tell her story in a straightforward manner. But she didn't overstay her Visa so there should be no problems. Best of luck to you!!

Hmm...i dont know...it just looks kind of weird. I dont want to sound pessimistic at all but it just looks like she wasnt sure she wanted to marry so it's not clear whether she loves you or not. And it's not me at all judging. It's how the embassy might look at it you know what i mean?

I do agree with the post above. She has to have a good and a straightforward explanation!!!

I think they are going to give her a hard time at the interview trying to realize why the last visa process didn't work ,but that's it before that I don't think they stop the process for that .

Good luck.

I would think it would come up in the interview as to why and what happened

As other posters mentioned, they definitely will ask about it at the visa interview! I don't have experience with this, so all I can offer is an opinion, but as long as there's a good explanation, I doubt there'll be a problem as long as you have evidence of a loving and genuine relationship.

I guess I should have told more in my post, I'll try to explain. The guy was a quadraplegic from an auto accident when he was young. They both talked for a while by email and then stopped. 5 years later they talk again and she decides on the Visa and to see what happens. She stayed a while and said that she just could not marry him. She said that he had married a girl from Brazil and after she was in the states a while she found a boyfriend and they divorced. She said he was always very aggravated and still kept in touch with the X and would give her money all the time. She also said that he didnt love her and still loved the X. So she went back home. His mother wrote a letter for her saying that she is a very good person. They gave her the Visa without the two of them ever meeting. She is very sweet and after visiting her and talking for months I have yet to hear a lie from her. I know from talking to others that after a time if the person lies it will come out. By her choosing to go back home insted of marrying to stay in the states makes me even more comfortable. I just hope the Embassy sees it that way.

It shows she is a trustworthy person , she could've stayed there and live a lie just for the visa and that's is ,but she came home that's great I hope too they see that at the interview.

Wow.... what a story.

The usual cases on VJ have been that the petitioner has petitioned for more than one visa and many of them have been approved.

You can expect that it will be a question she'll have to answer satisfactorily at her interview, so the most you can do at this point is be prepared for it. How well it goes will depend on her answer and the mood of that particular examiner that day. Ignore the judgmental comments in this thread and hope for the best.

She will likely be subjected to extra scrutiny at interview time, but as Jen pointed out above, if she answers with confidence and truth and the interviewer believes her story, then it should be OK. Just make sure she is well prepared to handle some tougher questioning.

Best of luck to you!

For the record, one event like this does not indicate trustworthiness... she would have had to have cared for a quadriplegic for at least 2 years until she was able to remove conditions, remove herself from the situation and divorce. That's a lot to have deal with, even IF she did have the green card as her objective. The OP has indicated that he has reason to trust her beyond this situation which is what is most important. No one here can make judgments on her character.

No one here can make judgments on her character.

This bears repeating. We hear a lot of unique situations and stories on VJ. It's sometimes hard not to be judgmental (I'm not saying anyone in this thread is being judgmental, and furthermore I've succumbed to it myself a time or two) or speculate about motives, but in the end the best thing we can do is to address the mechanics of the OP's question and wish them well.

Some good advice on this thread, best of luck to you!
