As you work through your fiancé visa, you will need to be careful to provide accurate information to the immigration officials. It is common for a lot of foreign nationals to work with American citizens in order to gain access into the country and then disappear without a trace. Sometimes the American citizen is in on the plan and other times they are duped. While this does not mean that all people applying for this visa will try this (in fact, the number is pretty small), it has sent up red flags with immigration officials and they will look very closely at your relationship to make sure it is genuine before giving out this type of visa.

The K-1 visa to allow a foreign national into the country to get married is one of the most heavily scrutinized visas for the United States. Immigration is going to take all available avenues to make sure that the relationship is genuine and real, rather than just a way for a foreign national to get into the country. Any type of red flag in this step could lead to the visa being denied. In fact, this is one of the main reasons that the fiancé visa will be denied.

There are a few reasons that may automatically turn the immigration officials off from your application. Some of them include:

# There is a very large age difference between the petitioner and foreign national.

# The two practice different religions as one another

# The cultures are very different. A European and American have similar cultures so it may not be as noticeable but if one is a devout Catholic and the foreign national is Muslin, this could be an issue.

# They do not have a common language.

# Getting engaged right after meeting the first time.

It is important to realize that these conditions do not automatically get your application denied. However, they are big enough issues that the immigration offices are going to look closer at and will need more details to prove that the relationship is genuine. The reason for this is that they can make it seem like the two people in that relationship do not have as much in common. If only one shows up and there is plenty of evidence that they are in a genuine relationship, then this should not be a problem.

When your fiancé visa is denied, you may feel confused and frustrated. Working with an immigration attorney will help you to get your paperwork in order and can make it less likely you will get denied.
