Your only hope is to be honest with the visa officer during your next interview. Otherwise, you’ll have to produce proof of a marriage and a divorce since two applications were submitted with your status as married.
A K1 visa application with your info will bring up your previous applications and denials. If you falsify divorce documents your fiancée will also be forced to repeat the exact fraudulent information over and over for interviews so she’ll be lying to officials also. If you’re caught, you’ll receive a ban and your fiancée risks going to jail for her part. Presenting false information twice is what brought you to this jam to begin with, third time could be your downfall. My advice isn’t what you want to hear but it’s the truth.
This advice is coming to you directly from a US Immigration Attorney.

Thank you so much for your kindid advice and for your time also. Please, I sent you an email invitation. Please, I will like to ask you things patterning to this my question.

InvestorTeeMan:
This is very complicated, if you file for K1 with this your status it is an outright denial and subject to like 10years ban for misrepresentation if not more sef.
Just file your application and claim divorce on your marital status then make sure you get a proper divorce decree whichever way you can get it coz you will need it for USCIS processing and your interview.
Have read stories of people who was only asked to show their divorce papers and not prove of previous marriage since the marriage no long exist and even if you’re asked to show prove of marriage there are tens of stories you can come up with to cover up for that.
You, telling the visa officer that it was your agent that filled out married for you instead of single doesn’t make sense coz there’s a space in your visa application that tells you to click that you can read and write and it is mandatory for you to input your name and that is to show that you signed your previous visa application which automatically make you responsible for all the information on it.
Don’t miss your chances you can do this.
Too late to open up now coz the denial will also attract ban bro.

Thanks for bringing out time to admonish me on what to do.

Please house I have a challenge to clear out before making my application. During my B1/B2 visa filling, my agent put "Married" while I was single just to make sure I get the visa. I told him to retain single and he refused. Unluckily for me, my visa got denied. I travelled to UK and applied for F1 visa and I was also denied. I continued maintaining married to avoid irregularities of information. Now, my fiancee I started dated way back 2017 wants to file for K1 visa. Who can tell me how to correct this issue because I am presently confused. There was no marriage between me and any woman before while my agent put married of which I maintained in my second visa application. Thanks

Betwithkay:
Amen & thank you

How did it go? Are you in US now or in Tijuana?

emmanuelle27:
Do you have a PR in Germany?? your transcript isn't detailed but I'm guessing that you're in Germany on a work visa, if that's the case then you have no strong ties in Germany, I'm guessing that it might be more beneficial for you to apply from NG. My opinion, na V.O get final decision.

I am a Masters student and I am on student residence permit

As usual, I walked into the interview hall with the hope and believe that God will change my story the secondtime. I had my first US interview 3 years back on Visiting visa and this time around, I decided to go for F1. I applied for MBA at one private school in USA.
My one year estimation tuition and accommodation is $30,000 with $3000 scholarship from my school and my sponsoring bank statement of $34000.

Vo: good morning
Me : good morning

VO: Which school are you going to?
Me: University of ............

Vo: place your fingers for biometric
Me: Ok

Vo: Who is sponsoring you?
Me: My sponsor

VO: Where is the location of your company,?
Me: Germany

VO: Have you been to Italy?
Me: No, Italy is where our company is registered.

VO: You have travelled to Singapore?
Me: Yes

VO: How long was your stay?
Me: 1 year and 7 months. I have also been to Italy, Sweden

VO: How long have you stayed in Germany?
Me: 5 months

VO: OK

VO: was typing uninterrupted...........
Me: Looking at him with confidence

VO: I AM SORRY TO REJECT YOUR VISA AT TIS TIME. HE ISSUED ME A WHITE PAPER.
ME: THanks and goodbye.


Please, who can advise me on why I was rejected my visa. I have travelled to 6 countries. I was only one that was denied Visa among the number of white people that came for visa.

Moshkom:
Try YouTube. If you didn’t get Germany own, you can use that of another European country as case study. Like, I once has a person that did hers in Ukraine, she lemme know how her and the interview there do last for more mins unlike the just 2-5mins here in 9ja. Just try do more search and work with that. It’s even more good you’ve idea about how ours is here, so more and adequate preparation for you.

Like I said then, elaborate more on HOW THE USA OFFER is MORE BETTER THAN GERMANY own, you can even add language ‘barrier’ to let your points sell more to them, if you’re funded, include it, “Aside the fact that I am fully funded, . . .”
But be more of your career goals and how USA degree is well recognize and accepted here (9ja) by major employe(es/ers)
Luck!

That's was so detailed. Thanks so much for your time. I really appreciate

Moshkom:
Which country are you currently? Reason I asked is that, there’s different ways VO ask questions (it is base on the country you’re being interviewed in), so check past transcripts from folks that have been interviewed there before, Don’t use Lag and Abuja to judge or to prepare. From there you would see similar case.

Overall, you would let the VO know how USA is this and that (pros); una addition you got a better offer that aligns more with your career goals (long and short term).

Goodluck!

Thanks for your timely reply. I base in Germany and I will be having my interview here in Germany. I can't see any forum where I can get the transcript of people that have gone through the same route with me. If you have any, I don't mind getting it from you. Thanks yiu once more

Happy Sunday brethren. I have asked countless questions for clarifications but got no reply. I plead someone answers me this time around.
I base abroad as a Master's student and I just started my first semester before I got an Admission to studying MBA in one of the schools in the USA. The Master's I am doing here is not in my best interest and I need to drop and go for the US MBA , where I have more prospects. I am at lost on what defense I should give to the VO when asked why am living my present studies to the one in US. I have a work here also which the company is standing as my Affidavit of support. The Company is expanding to Nigeria where I will take up a Managerial position after my MBA, and that is one of the reasons I am going for the MBA instead of continuing the present studies. Please I need a helpful advice from anyone who can � �.

Please house, if my brother is a permanent resident in USA and I filled I don't have a relation in US, will it be a red flag for me?

Good evening everyone who is making relentless efforts to making sure people get it right via US Student'sVisa. I am a new member of Nairaland and I have questions that needed an urgent clarifications.
I based in Germany and currently doing my Master's studies. I started my Master's studies in October and have not yet written any exams. I applied for an MBA at one of the Universities in United States and got admitted. I have got my Form 120 from my school and about applying for my Student's Visa.
Below are my questions for clarifications.

1. I have applied for Visiting Visa at US Embassy at Abuja when I was still in Nigeria but got denied on the bases of no much travelling history. I only visited Ghana as my first international travelling.

2. The agent that applied for my former US Visiting visa put Married instead of single which I complained and he said it will make the Consulate to grant me Visa. All my documents I used in applying for Germany studies and European visa all bear single instead of Married.
Do I need to correct the marital status back to single or I should live it Married as was first put by my former agent?

3. My brother lives in US and he came through Visiting but now Married to a US citizen. Is it wise to put any information about him and what will be my answer if the VO ask me if I have any relation in US?

4. A company I am working with is my sponsor and is it okay using a company as a sponsor?

Please I will like any one to help and put me right with the above questions.

Thanks as I await for criticisms and corrections
