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

February 11th, 2010 by admin | 2 Comments | Filed in Fiancee Visas, Overstay Visa, Tourist Visa, Visa Waiver, Visitor Visa

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.

Fiancee Visa Interview at US Embassy Manila

Below is my Youtube video that explains what the interview at the US Embassy Manila is like for the Filipina Fiancees and Fiances for this very last step to get their K1, I-129F Fiancee visas approved. Each applicant must schedule an appointment at the consulate, and convince the consular officer that theirs is a “bone fide” genuine relationship, and that the purpose of the Fiancee Visa application is solely for sincere marriage.

Guangzhou Denies Fiancee + Spousal Visas

May 14th, 2009 by admin | 9 Comments | Filed in Bone Fide Relationship, China, Consulate Interviews, Evidence of relationship, Fiancee Visas, Genuine Relationship, Spousal Visas

A group of Immigration attorneys who help prepare and submit Fiancee K-1 and Spousal K-3 visas are rallying together to complain and lobby against apparent procedural problems at the US visa section, Guangzhou China.  In reviewing their in-house data, and then combining this data across the different firms, they believe their statistics demonstrate that the Visa Section in Guangzhou is denying an abnormally high percentage of K-1 and K-3 petitions.

The attorneys assertion is that the visa officers in Guangzhou are over zealous in applying a higher standard than is official State Department policy. They believe this has resulted in Petitions which routinely would be approved at any other consulate, being unfairly denied in Guangzhou. Based on their own review of the denied cases, the attorneys have intuited the following list of extra-ordinary reasons they believe K petitions were denied in Guangzhou.

  • No English, No Visa.
  • One Visit, No Visa.
  • Marriage on First Visit, no Visa.
  • Very Large Age Different, No Visa.
  • Three or More marriages by Petitioner, No Visa.

These are the apparent “Red Flags” when applying for the Fiancee or Spousal visa in China.  It seems that these could also negatively influence the consideration of your petition in other countries as well. To “err” on the safe side, I would suggest to any couple to strengthen the appearance of their genuine relationship, by addressing some of the issues listed above.

  • Enroll the Fiancee in English School if her English is weak.
  • Take a second trip.  Enjoy a second or third visit, spend face to face time  together.

In the case of the denied petitions, true love finally won out. Each denied Fiancee couple, got married, in China, then applied again, this time for an IR1or CR1 visa, and after long delays, these were granted.
