Immigration Forum / USA Marriage Base / June 2006Visiting the US on a tourist Visa while awaiting K-1 visa
Does anyone know if there are any problems with entering the US (to visit my fiancee in New York) on a tourist visa while awaiting a K-1 visa. The application for the K-1 has been made but has not progressed yet. I know that I will have to leave the US and return to the UK before the tourist visa expires (up to 90 days) and then re-enter on the K-1 visa when the time comes. I am a British citizen. Many thanks in advance to anyone who replies! > Does anyone know if there are any problems with entering the US (to > visit my fiancee in New York) on a tourist visa while awaiting a K-1 [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Many thanks in advance to anyone who replies! The wonderful thing about forums like these is that they're searchable. You can look up certain keywords to try to see if anyone else has talked about this topic before. For example: "visit" + "waiting" + "K1" + "K-1" = These threads (http://britishexpats.com/forum/search.php?searchid=475356) There are probably other keywords you could use and find even more posts about this subject... Which has been discussed repeatedly here. Good luck. ~ Jenney Oops, sorry about that. My bad. > Does anyone know if there are any problems with entering the US (to > visit my fiancee in New York) on a tourist visa while awaiting a K-1 [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Many thanks in advance to anyone who replies! It is perfectly legal to come visit on the VWP while waiting for the K-1 to process. Just bring plenty of proof of your ties to the UK to show the POE officer.

Hi: Other than the possibliity that the Officer at the POE might refuse admission, it is perfectly fine. BTW, a refusal of a VWT admission is NOT a formal "removal" -- although I've seen them entered as such in the database in error. Make sure you do not make any misrepresentations -- a "212(a)(6)(C)" finding would be a bad thing indeed. Good luck.  SignatureCertified Specialist Immigration & Nat. Law Cal.

Just making sure I understand (for interest's sake): anyone who ever misrepresents themself as a US citizen when they are not is inadmissible, and there is no waiver. In other words, it's a lifetime bar?

But best avoided. |
