Dishonorable Discharge and K1 Visa

[xsparr0w 0]

So I recently found out my Fiance (like a complete idiot) got dishonorably discharged from the British Army for getting into a fist fight with his commander. No charges were pressed, he didn't go to court, he was just discharged.

What kind of problems am I going to run into? Were at the pre-interview stage and I want to know if there is any additional paperwork we need to get now!

Thanks!

From London's list of documents---

Military Records: Persons who have served in the military forces of any country must obtain one copy of their military record. Note: On the day of the visa interview you will be required to furnish either your discharge papers or evidence of terminal leave from the forces.

Note: Military records from certain countries are unavailable. For further information, please contact the Immigrant Visa Unit.

Thanks for that. It doesn't really specify what happens if they were discharged in a bad way, you know what I mean? I know that to become a citizen, if he was discharged in the last 5 years he has to provide reference letters from employers and co-workers ect that hes in good moral standing or what have you.

How do you know what you stated is required to become a citizen? I've never seen that in the USCIS Guide to Naturalization, the application, the Checklist, etc.

You said no charges were filed and no fine or sentence. He didn't commit a war crime that would exclude him. Are you confusing maybe with foreigners who gain US citizenship by serving in the US military? If they were dishonorably discharged before serving five years, then their citizenship status could be revoked. But your husband will not need to join the US military to become a citizen. He can become one based on having been a permanent resident for 3 years if married to a you, or being a PR for 5 years if he doesn't remain married to you.

Yeah, maybe im getting the citizenship bit confused with the K1 visa process? I just mainly want to know if his discharge would make it harder for his visa to get approved.According to him it shouldn't be an issue. Just want to make sure everything goes smooth!
