The wife is actually my friend. We work together and connected through the fact that she's married to a man who is also from from the same country as me. His English isn't proficient enough to navigate through here. And why she's not on here is because she doesn't even know this forum exists and isn't very tech or internet savvy. I've helped with the prep and the steps for the interview, helped create logins for websites, interpret certain requests or questions, etc. So I'm just trying to help but it's not very productive because I don't know have all the info and I don't know how exactly everything happened. I hope this is just a case of a missing document, and that there isn't a long, complicated story behind it.

It hasn't been easy getting all the answers from him and I genuinely believe he doesn't know/isn't sure. I have a feeling it was a h2b visa. I'm not even sure how long he was here for. The wife told me the company flew all their workers home every 4 months 🤷‍♀️ Also, looks like he quit the job while he was still in the US and the employer contacted him 10-14 days later with a ticket to go home and he left and has been in Bosnia since. They met in the States in 2020 or 2021 I believe. In February of 2022 he went back to Bosnia. In October of 2022 she visited him in Bosnia and they got married. In July of 2023 she started the petition. It got appoved 14.5 months later, in late September of this year IIRC. Anyway, I guess we'll know soon enough what happens.

I don't know how the process works with a work visa, but from how he explained it, he worked in the States for a company that invited him to come on a work visa (constructon), and when he returned to Bosnia and quit the company, the visa was invalidated or maybe withdrawn by the ex employer, but he was never called to the embassy to do anything. I believe he mistakenly used the term 'revoked'. I am not sure if the contract had ended by that time, or if he quit before finishing it, which would then, I guess, create an issue for him if he wanted to apply for a work visa again.

Court documents i.e. statement/proof that there aren't any court cases currently being processed against him

That is definitely a concern, too. So the missing document isn't a big deal, but what concerns me is that they didn't keep anything that he brought to the interview. I don't think they even kept the medical records. The wife is a really good friend of mine and I want to stay positive for her, so I just wanted to see if anyone has had a similar experience and what the outcome was in their care.

They didn't keep any of the documents that were requested. The medical, vaccination records, passport photos, etc.

Thank you. I think my main concern for them was that the fact that they gave him the passport back, thinking that it could automatically mean the visa was going to be denied.

He just told me they did give him 221g for the missing document. But still we're confused why they didn't keep the passport.

He was here on a work visa, they met here and started dating, lived together. Then his contract ended and he went back home. At that time they hadn't decided yet which way they were going to go. After that, she visited him in Bosnia, they got married and started the spouse visa 9-10 months later. The petition took 14-15 months and now this.

I understand their case has the age gap red flag, but their relationship is genuine, they talk all day every day, his family loves her, hers loves him as well. But the c.o. didn't ask for any proof of relationship etc, just asked him some basic questions.

Sarajevo, Bosnia

He wasn't given absolutely anything.

Hello VJ, A friend's husband had his ir/cr1 interview today and was missing a document (stating no court records). The interview was short, about 10 minutes. They told him to mail the missing document, but they didn't keep his passport. How would you interpret this? They've been together for years, married over 2. She is 20ish years older than him. He was on a work visa in the U. S. a while back and after coming back to his home country, he quit that job so his visa was revoked for that reason, but on the DS form he said he hasn't had his visa revoked before, thinking the question was more about the visa being revoked due to him doing something wrong/bad. What are your thoughts on this?
