Seeing "Refused" seems a stretch to be a mistake...

Were there any clues at the interview that there could be a problem? Questions that could not be answered fully? Documents not in order? What is the history of the beneficiary? Any criminal convictions? Did he admit any drug use at the medical? Has he previously overstayed?

He had a robbery charge from 3 years ago but hat was the only thing he had on his police report . The case was dropped and they gave him one year of community service which was dropped to a fine of less of 35 dollars in his currency . I was thinking it could had fallen under the petty office exception . What can I do now after seeing this what are my options ?

If it was dropped why is it on his police report and why did he have a fine to pay? 

 

He will need to find out the grounds for refusal and whether a waiver could apply to his case. Has he called the embassy?

I just saw it says refused in the website now once I type in the case number . It says to review the paper that was given to him the day of the interview , but the day of the interview they didn't tell him it was denided they just told him to bring court papers which he did 2 weeks later .

Like in your other thread you need to figure out exactly what the circumstances during the interview were.

 

If as mentioned in other post about the previous robbery, the court records they asked for could have been the reason for denial which could involve a waiver.

 

You may need to do FOIA if you can't find the specific answer as to why it was refused.

What country are you in? Most countries you'd need a police report as part of applying.
