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

In his country, at school some hooligans attack him, and he (my fiancé, beneficiary) 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. he never have any problem. Only that one!!!

Your other post said it is the US citizen (petitioner) who has the criminal record. 

 

Can you please clarify your confusing post?

he still must disclose it and attempt to get the court records and if he can not get the records he will need to get a letter from them saying he can not get them.

 

the worst thing he can do is try to hide it.

Yes, the US petitioner don not have criminal record, the beneficiary which have intervew in embassy had. But that case is sealed, its finished by court.

As far as I am concearned, the benificiary will have to provide the embassy with all the documents about the criminal record even if it's been sealed. And it is supposed to be translated in English. Actually, it'd be better if you call the embassy where the benificiary will have an interview. But I am pretty sure they'll ask for all the possible documents.

Thank you. Yes he will provide at embassy and bring all documents issued by court.

 

I hope everything will going good on his interview and I hope he get  visa and start our lives. 

 

All the best for you.
