Previous Issues with Visa Cancellation/Denied Entry K1

[efmyel 0]

I'm posting this question on here because so many people seem to be very knowledgeable on this site, and I want to make sure that my fiance and I don't encounter any problems. We have received our NOA2, booked medical, completed the DS 160 and are just waiting for our appointment date for our K1. Here is my concern:

Last December, my fiance left the US to go back to England to see his family for the holidays. Upon landing in the US, he was questioned, and found to be inadmissible to the US on the grounds that his E2 visa was no longer valid. He had sold his initial business and purchased another, but failed to let anyone know. Basically he violated the terms of his visa. He was denied entry and they allowed him to withdraw his application for admission, which is good--he did not receive a ban. The officers told him he could apply for another visa such as the K1. On his visa in his passport, they stamped "CANCELLED WITH PREJUDICE" From my understanding, that means that he did something wrong (obviously) to warrant the cancellation of the E2 visa. Will this affect him being approved for the K1 visa at the embassy?

Thank you for any help or thoughts on this.

Just want to ask of you also completed this required form http://london.usembassy.gov/iv/notification_of_applicant_readiness_form.html in addition to the DS-160.

His visa was cancelled because he didn't do what he was required to keep it. So yes, he did something wrong, correct?He withdrew his entry attempt so that isn't part of cancelled with prejudice. They just happened to have him and the visa at that moment so stamped it so he wouldn't use it again.

So did he accrue overstay in the US by staying on a visa he no longer qualified for? How many days between selling the business and leaving the US?

He did not not accrue any unlawful presence even though he was out of status, according to our immigration attorney. Had he stayed longer than the date on his i94, then it would have been a problem. Yes, he did something wrong without really realizing it. I'm hoping this won't be an issue. I suppose all he can do is answer the questions truthfully if asked at the interview and hope the K1 doesn't get denied.
