She got lucky.

The Visa was voided by the prior overstay.

She admitted to working outside of her status.

They allowed her to withdraw her application. They could have deported her.

The chances of another visitor visa are very slim.

How long did she overstay.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGetting Married Before Entering US on a K-1
You can get married outside the US, as has been mentioned several times.

AP can apply to a variety of circumstances.

You do not need to have a family emergency.

I have been on this site for 6 years, only in the last few months have I seen this question raised, I have no idea why now.

Please, forgive my ignorance of legal jurisprudence.

It seems that there are both legal and ceremonial aspects to marriage and that in many countries, the UK included, a ceremonial or religious celebration has absolutely no validity as a legally binding contract. Thus, the participants in the ceremonial celebration are not legally married, have no marriage certificate or registration, and would still be single and legally free to marry. So, from that point of view, someone who has had a ceremonial celebration but no legal marriage would not be lying in any sense if they responded yes when asked if they are free to marry. Of course, a legally recognized marriage would be a completely different matter.

I could be way off about this, and I would not ask the OP to take my word for it. I am sure others will be able to provide more clarity on this matter.


Yep, I was married in Church in the UK, perfectly legal. Actually there was a televised UK Church marriage not long ago.....

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNeed guidance on reopening file on denied fiancée visa

It will absolutely bring this issue up again, especially as she is again petitioning someone from the same country. I would think the fact no charges were filed against her is a good sign, but between this huge red flag and you dealing with possibly the most difficult consulate in the world to get a visa from, I'd get a good lawyer.

I was going to say the same thing.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTourist Visa vs. K1

Just wanted to clarify something. I read everything i could regarding the visa process and i became very familiar what to do and what not. i just filed K1 packet few days ago for my fiancee. But the question is, rather statement than question :)

First of all, i know this is illegal what I'm going to say but just want yours opinion. I know couple folks that brought their fiance(s)'s on tourist visa (2 months process), got married in US after staying couple months and got their green cards without a question asked. If it can be done this way, why do we have to go through the long process? Like i said, i know it's illegal but none of these folks got caught, and i know lots of them.

Feel free to put in you 2 cents :)


As you surmised entering on another type of visa, visitor whatever and adjusting is the most common route and the one that most Lawyers would used recommend.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresInternational gay marriages in New York

So what you're saying is, if we got married in New York, we'd be able to move back to Australia together (even though she's a US Citizen) because Australia recognises same sex marriages federally?


I am not sure about Australia but certainly the UK requires you to get the appropriate visa to marry in the UK. The US does not, so the VWP would be fine.

Australian Immigration, I am sure there is a site that deals with that.

30%?

More like 90 something%

Where does the ban come in?

In this situation where the Consulate know all about the current situation and has assessed accordingly, it would be very unlikely for them to be second guessed. Not unlikely, not impossible.

Canadians generally do not need visa's.

You asked about being refused assuming you obtained a visa.
BoilerMaleWales2011-09-01 17:26:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCan my tourist visa be turned down at POE if I have an ongoing K1 application

But are the chances high that entry will be denied due to the pending K-1 status? Obviously you can be denied regardless, but the question is whether having a K-1 visa will definitely detrimentally affect one's chances of gaining entry into the US at the POE.

I answered your question.

I also visited whilst the K1 was processing.
