Hello, 
 
Let's start from the beginning. 
My fiancé (who is the USC) and I (I am from Norway) filed our K1 visa December 3rd 2020. August 2021 we were approved. December 9th I had to go to the US embassy in Stockholm, Sweden for my interview. 
Everything was looking, and I had all my papers in order. My criminal record was not clean. I had a fine from January 2007 for admitting to have bought and smoked one user dose of marijuana during a vacation in Spain, December 2006. This was during an interview with the military here in Norway, where they asked me if I had every tried any drugs. I was honest and told them I tried marijuana once. I was 19 and didn't think much of it. They sent my interrogation papers to the police, and I got a fine. It should be said that during my stay in Spain, cannabis is decriminalized and I should not have agreed to that fine in the first place. Again, I did not know this at the time. Also I didn't think it would matter at any point since it was only a fine. 
When I handed in the papers to the first person at the embassy, he asked me about the fine, I told him what it was, and he couldn't imagine this was going to be a problem. At the interview, the woman who interviewed me asked me about it as well, she kinda laughed at it, carried on and told me everything looked good. They were going to finalize the papers and ship everything back to me. 
I left a happy man! 
Hours later they requested my court orders for my fine, which I honestly didn't think exist. I contacted the police station the next day, got the documents I needed, got it translated and emailed it back two days after my interview. My interview took place on a Thursday. Following Tuesday I got an email saying my visa was refused. 
Now we have to file a I-601 and wait even longer... 

So for those of you who wonder if a small thing on your record matters, it does...

We filed at the end of November last year. Says December 3rd on our NOA1. I've put on my waiting pants 😂
What about you? 

I'm not gonna be a partypooper, but I wouldn't really hope a whole lot when it comes to this 😛 
It's just going to be this long, hard wait for all of us unfortunately. 
Even though I wish everyone the best. Hehe. Don't get me wrong.

We got the receipt notice!!! 
20.52 on Friday, Feb 26th. That felt really good. One small step in the right direction. 

Finally something happened. 
Delivered at Dallas Lockbox December 7th and money got taken out on Feb 24th! 
 
Hopefully everything was filled out correctly. 

USCIS Dallas Lockbox just charged my credit card $535!

November 12th receipt by USCIS.  Waiting for the text/email, but they finally took my %*#@*(%#@ money!
