My husband had a 10 year Tourist Visa cancelled about 12 years ago, and we are thinking about starting he green card process. It was cancelled when he went to request a new visa that would allow him to work on a cruise ship. He was denied the new visa and the tourist visa was cancelled basically to make sure he didn't use it to go work. At least this is our understanding of the situation! He had previously stayed almost 6months in the states using the tourist visa, so I guess they were suspicious.

I am just worried that this could be an issue for his green card? Thanks so much!

If it wasn't canceled because of misrepresentation or fraud, it should have little or no effect.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").
