Applying for K1 visa after been deported and banned for 5 years

Customs & Border Patrol does look at your conduct to ascertain whether you are admissible into the United States or not. It is often not advisable to stay for such an extended time on a visitor visa and then return after a short stay abroad. This pattern almost always leads to a more thoroughly inspection. Assuming you were previously deported from the United States, it will affect your ability to seek a K-1 visa. A prior deportation makes you ineligible for a visa, both immigrant and non-immigrant, for a set period of years. This means you cannot be admitted within that time unless you receive permission to reapply for admission after deportation. You may also need a waiver depending upon the exact findings by Customs & Border Patrol regarding your attempted entry. Based upon the information provided thus far, you may not be eligible for a K-1 visa. However, you may still be able to immigrate to the United States if you marry first and your spouse petitions for you to receive an immigrant visa. As mentioned before, you will likely need to seek permission to reapply for admission and may also need a waiver. It is best that we schedule a more in depth consultation where we can review the documents you were provided when you last attempted to enter and what happened during the attempted entry.
