US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionDS-156 Question 31.
Dear Visa people,
Yes...we are so close it hurts.

My fiancee (Argentina) tried for a tourist visa and was quickly shot down when they discovered that she had a pulse and was under 70 years old. It seems nobody except rich business people and senior citizens get Tourist Visas out of Argentina. Any way...

She was refused a Tourist Visa and has the black stamp on her passport to show for it. Yikes...

The DS-156 form, question 31. asks "Have you Ever Been Refused A U.S. Visa and yes she has. Then later on under Question 38 they ask "Have you ever been refused admission to the U.S. or....and so on and so forth..."

My question is whether we answer Yes or No. If one answers Yes then the visa may be refused based on a specific law.

I am confused.... Of course if we answer No and the correct answer is Yes we are most likely screwed too...

What a mess.

Help...?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDS-156 Question 31.
Thanks.

Actualy te question was not about to lie or not to lie but how to answer the questions.

What does Refused Entry mean? Does it mean Refused Visa? I believe one person actually seemed to think that a Refused Visa is not Refused Entry. Hence, the "correct" answer is to say No.

She was denied the Tourist Visa because they are insane at the Embassy....anyway we are almost done with the K-1.


thanks,
George
