I would say 1% because he is already Having his immigration under process so it's very unlikely he will get tourist visa

F4 takes decades so assuming this was not filed 15 years ago probably pretty good.

I wish he did not do that,  because that can change the all process intirely for immigration purposes.

How can applying for a B2 visa affect immigration?

In Ghana such rush put a 70/100 red flag on your process .

I fail to see how an application for a B2 would affect an immigrant visa.  Never seen that be an issue.

I think that if you have applied multiple times for B and/or F visas and then apply for a spousal or fiancé visa in Ghana that they may assume that you are essentially visa shopping/desperate to the point of committing fraud and get extra scrutiny.

 

I don’t think that’s relevant in this case.
