Is it ok to visit the us as a tourist if i file for a K1 visa?

July 11th, 2010 by admin | Filed under Fiancee Visas, I-129F.

Your USA Fiance(e) is the one who will file US government to obtain a K1 visa for you.

While USCIS and later NVC are processing this request, your status is not affected.

This means that until you actually have your interview at the US consulate, and they grant you the K1 visa, whatever current visas you may have ARE NOT affected.

So, you can come to the usa. However if you do, you must adhere to the terms of the visa you are traveling under.

The most important term, is “you can NOT intend to stay”. You should intend to return to home country, and there is where you will have the K1 visa interview.

At the border, the immigration agent has the authority to send you back in case he suspects you may be planning to violate the terms of the visa you now have. A confirmed return air ticket, a solid job back at home, will help to demonstrate your intentions to return to home country.
