I had already been granted the Esta, however when i got to the airport homeland security and they deny it as i hadn't booked a return flight. What would be the best way around this is i weould like to move over there?

Thanks for your patience and enquiry. It is likely you were turned away because they formed the view that if you were admitted into the country you would not leave.

The K1 visa is a good option. This allows you to enter the US as a fiancé, get married and then apply to stay in the US. He needs to be in the US when you apply for this visa though.

My partner is considering coming to the uk for 1 year and then apply for a k1 visa and live in the uk while it is processing then move back to the us with the K1 visa so i would be allowed to remain in the us.
Customer: replied 15 days ago.
Also as someone interviewed me from homeland security,would this be on my record and effect the chance of the visa.
Expert:  ReadyLaw replied 15 days ago.

It is likely that the refusal will be on your record. You would only need to explain the circumstances surrounding the refusal of entry when you apply for the k1 visa. You are unlikely to be prejudiced by this.
