The bottom line is that they still deemed that you’re more at risk of staying in the US and adjusting status through your bf than returning to South Africa to the ties that you presented. It might not be true at all but that’s what they concluded. With a denial that happened very recently, I think the chances of B2 are slim. However, we’re not fortune tellers and whatever we say is not 100% set in stone; this is all personal opinions. All you can do is re-apply and hope for the best and hope that they will give you a chance to present evidence (because in a lot of cases they do not).

How long ago was the second denial? NOT needed and hurts one’s chances.

Go here and check. Do not log in or anything, click Immigrant Visa (IV), put your NVC case number and hit submit: https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx?TSPD_101_R0=0883343043ab2000be2d0a33704445cdbe0706cfc1226ed47374e90b9cabe5b483629bf19afa878608e11a8c4d14300006cf87e18c12dca354edf3b81d8999ee1d5a464afb5802e1a6ce4f737ab8e57973c1da819c658d6198954c9a8c3a1adb

Evidence of sufficient income. It doesn’t specify what exactly. If the consulate sent a checklist, I’d see what they want you to bring there but again, they might just write I-134 which was the case for me. So I brought supporting evidence

~~ Duplicate thread removed, please do not start multiple threads pertaining to same or similar topics (post interview yellow slip/AP) as that’s considered spamming ~~ Refused also means administrative processing. There’s no way to predict how long it’ll take, there’s no standard timeline, it’s different for everyone.

Why is he filling out a I-864 if you’re a K1 applicant? It’s form I-134. Employment letter is not a requirement in order to fill out I-134 (or I-864 for that matter). It’s a nice piece of evidence to show he’s employed at X company and makes X amount of money, but it’s not a requirement to submit. I’d bring 6 months worth of pay stubs.

I don’t understand this part, can you please clarify. Are you saying that you want to have the K1 approved (this would be at a US Consulate abroad), come to the US, marry your partner and then leave without applying for AOS? If that’s the case, then I agree with @Jorgedig, it makes no sense to apply for K1 at all. If you leave the US after getting married and you do not apply AND wait for the AOS process to be finished, you cannot come back to live to the US on that basis. Your spouse will have to petition you for a spousal visa (CR1). K1 and CR1 are taking roughly the same time to be processed now (18-24 months). You can just come on ESTA, get married and leave to go back to Australia. It achieves your intended purpose just the same

That’s what I put too
