Q: My husband was denied his immigrant visa. Would he be allowed any other visa at this point? Non-immigrant visa, visitor?
We went the consular processing route as he was home in the UK throughout the process. We are now trying to get him home as fast as possible since our first child is due in three months. Would he be approved ANY visa to get him to the states at this point? I know he won’t be allowed ESTA now that he has been denied a visa.
A: Most importantly, what was the reason for the denial? Was it a marriage-based immigrant visa? Review of your entire documentation is necessary for a tailored answer. Generally for a nonimmigrant visa he will face scrutiny given that he already presented immigrant intent.
