Does anyone know if their fiance has served time in prison for a minor conviction for example something under a year will the petition be automatically denied or is there a chance still?

Depends on what the offense was.

If anyone spends some time in jail...like 364 days (that is less than a year) then it will not be a minor offense

Well... not necessarily, in some countries.

Also, political offenses can be considered exempt.

Read the document carefully - it explains all.
