Q: Is the k1 visa denial that my mother faced where I was listed as an accompanying child with k2 visa hurt my student visa
I have filed out the DS-160 form to apply for F1 visa a week ago but their were two questions that bothered me to my core after I managed to fill them saying "No", the two questions are the ones blow
"Have you ever been refused a U.S visa before?"
"Has anyone ever filed an immigrant petition on your behalf with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services?"
I should mention that even though I have never applied for any kind of US visa or had any petition filed for me before, when I was 20 years of age my mom had an ex-fiancé in the states who filed out the I-129F form to start the K1 process where I was listed as a dependent who applies for a K2 visa. I was told I needed to fill the DS-160 Visa which I did and went to the embassy where she got rejected.
I am applying for the student visa and worried that the answers I gave to the two questions above on the DS-160 would create some sort of problems for me in the process of getting my F1 visa.
A: Your mother was rejected. You were not rejected but you were not eligible because your mother was denied. On your student visa application you should explain your answers.
