Old criminal record

[Smsm 1]

Hello everybody, I just want to know, my fiance ( petitioner) 9 years ago had a criminal record, but it is closed by court! 

At school some hooligans attack him, and he (my fiancé, Petitioner) was alone, they was 6 and one guy of that group of hooliganes was injured by (my fiance) he attack with small knife on his leg and arm, the reason was to protect himself from that band of hooliganes. My fiancé was arrested for short time (one month) and that case was closed by court after 7 years.

 So can this influence on his interview or to get his visa? I'm so worried 😩 about this. Now he is doing his PhD degree and he never have any problem. Only that one!!!

I don't think it will be an issue. He is the petitioner, they are more concerned about your police record, not his.

Besides, there was no conviction.

As long as your relationship is real and you have proof pictures and screen shots of conversations and you the beneficiary has a clean record with the law you should be fine . I saw on that reality show 90 day fiancé visa on tlc that one of the petitioners has a criminal record for marijuana and his fiancé the benifisary still got approved .

You might already know this but some of the reasons that I have seen k1 visas get denied have been for . Huge age difference between the couple , not enough evidence of the relationship or bad criminal record of the beneficiary . Some embassies are more strict than others a lot of the African countries , Caribbean and Arabic countries .

Yes, The criminal record has beneficiary, not me as petitioner. I'm okay but he has that old one.
