Lorton, VA asked in Immigration Law for Virginia

Q: My fiancé has just applied for a B1 visa for a one month medical rotation, and he mentioned that his fiancé lives in

the states as well. We do not plan on getting married since he will be going back to his country of origin to complete the remaining time of his medical school and he plans on working there for a year as well. I plan on applying for his fiancé visa during that period. We just found out that because he mentioned that his fiancé lives in America, he may not get the visa now since it will be assumed that he is trying to convert his visa and stay here. How can we get around this and prove that is not the case?

A: With his application he should submit plenty of documentation to demonstrate that he is going to the USA only for a rotation - the dates of the rotation - when he intends to return to his medical school in his home country. If he has prepares or pre registered that will be great.

A letter from his school that he is going on a rotation through the school

a lease or other evidence that he will maintain a residence in his home country while in the USA.

Any other documentation to demonstrate he will return to his home country.
