Mine was pre ESTA, not so much info available back then.

You will find plenty of threads from post ESTA, I went to Secondary where they were quite apologetic, Secondary seems less common now with a re approved ESTA.

Tourist Visa's do not have sponsors.

Which could have been a reason for the refusal as well.

The B2 denial was because they didn't feel she have strong enough ties to her home country.

I guess my fear is that because they ask you if you've ever had a visa denied, they are going to ask you that, and it would be an automatic refusal at POE, regardless if ESTA is accepted or not.

That is normal if you are otherwise eligible for the VWP.

If it is a standard holiday then whilst it is always possible, it would be very very unusual.

They let me in.

Sorry if I am asking, when he applied for B-2 visa, did he put your name as a person he would come to visit in US? There was another VJ-er here that her fiance visa got denied because she did not mention his fiance name on the application when applied it. Her approval B-2 visa eventually was revoked and they filed spousal visa now.

For example, if you started dating him around 2010, he applied in 2011 but he did not mention your name there and got denied for some reason. When you filed I-129F for K-1 visa, let's say 2013 and putting timeline when you both were started dating and they found out that your fiance applied B-2 visa was actually wanted to visit you but failed to mention it.

That's why they have box there asking applicant if they ever been refused visa and when it did happened. I would guess, probably that's a red flag for him for not disclosed his intention come to visit in US and a tiny possibility reason why his K-1 visa was denied. But that's just my 2 cents, I might be wrong about this. -Every cases, countries, circumtances of applicants are treated according to their requirements.

I am really sorry for what happened to you. Be strong there.

There are plenty of more obvious reasons for a denial.

Hi Boiler

I looked at that site as well. VWP is still no longer eligible if a B2 is denied. See Q and A and link. Also I figured the lawyer wouldn't lie to me either.

I'm not trying to prove you wrong, I just don't want to give anyone false hope (as for a second there, I almost had some hoping I had been wrong and she could visit...)

You misread.

I am not saying the Lawyer lied, but Lawyer ignorance is not uncommon, there are PLENTY of examples of that on here.

It is quite possible that when you update ESTA after a Visa refusal ESTA will be declined, wait 6 months usually resolves the issue, and try again.

If the Visa refusal was for something like Criminal History, Drugs etc then all bets are off.

CR1 is what you would be looking at.

Still think that you need more 'face' time, sounds like he he has not met your child?

One visit of 10 days is unlikely to pass muster. Especially with the other issues you mentioned. I would make a few more trips of longer duration and try again, perhaps during the school holidays.

If you are referring to me, yes, no longer she's eligible for the VWP due to now having the B2 denied.

That is not a reason for not being eligible to use the VWP.

We met online in 2009 started a friendship

March of 2010 we decided that our friendship had developed into more of a relationship

2011 my fiance applied for a tourist visa to visit me, Denied

June 2012 I went to India

Sept 2012 sumbitted I 29F,

RFE - requested an additional photo from me ( it must of got lost)

NOA1 Approved in August

Interview Sept 30, 2012 Mumbai - Denied, no explanation given, received paper stating being returned for possible review and or revocation.

How long were you in India?

UK not usually a problem, most odd for London to see people who have only met once.

Presumably not eligible for the VWP?

When did you meet? Ans. 2009

When did you start your romantic relationship? Ans. 2010

I am confused, could you write down an accurate timeline, as presumably the above is incorrect.

If this is what was said to the Consulate probably did not help matters.

Hopefully somebody who has done it more recently will comment.

I took the I 134 and a lot of paperwork backing up my assets, the later was wasted.

When I did mine I thought it was the normal calculation, I wondered why he glanced and took it no further at the data I had brought.

I later found out it was a lot less, seems akin to a figure that would be good for a 90 day stay, which seems logical if you think about it.

I know others have reported getting a number from the Consulate.

If you are more than comfortable I would not worry about it. Like $10k plus.

Affidavit of support for couple living together overseas

If you want to not stress about it and not have to worry about maybe getting a 221g at the interview, which will delay you, then go ahead and have the co-sponsor's paperwork with you.

Once you get the K-1 and are married in the US, your assets can be added/counted then, for the I-864 for your AOS,

Seconded
