Hi All
hoping for some insight and or previous experiences.
When I originally moved over to the US on my L1B visa my girlfriend at the time was advised by my companies emigration attorneys to apply for a B1 cohabitation visa so she could travel with me, the embassy however denied, after that the emigration attorneys spoke with the embassy and again the visa was denied to insufficient ties to the home country as they didn't agree that the cohabitation visa existed.
fast forward 6 months and we are now engaged and planning our wedding in December, after which my then wife will apply for an L2 visa based on the fact that we are now married. it will have been at least 3 months since her last visa interview and I will have been in the US working for over 6 months.
We will take to the interview all the necessary proof of our relationship and wedding but my questions is are there any elements we should keep in mind given the previous denials or our unique situation.
thanks
