I hope someone may have an answer to this. Its getting closer to our interview and im way overthinking lots of things. My question is my husband applied for a student visa like 10 years ago to the states and was denied. Is this going to have anything to do with our visa now? I hope someone may have some insite to this. Thanks for any advise given here.

Not in the slightest way.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

I sure hope not, thanks for your quick reply!! Its a Mena country so just know they take everything with a fine tooth comb and I don't remember any questions about them asking about this on any forms. I know it asked if your benificary has ever been to the US and I answered no. Not sure about the inital petition sent to USCIS, it said has your spouse been under immigration procedings? Is that the same thing?

I think JustBob's answer was a little too broad-brush. Not all consulates are the same.

Chances are it will have no impact, but your instincts are correct that they will go over everything with a fine-tooth comb. I'd wager that a one-time application for a student visa 10 years ago would have no bearing at all on your petition. If he had applied every year for a student/tourist/diversity lottery visa for the past 10 years, then, yes, I think that would be pretty relevant to the big picture. Try not to worry.

Immigration proceedings are stateside, so if he's never even been to the U.S., you were correct to answer no there.
