    His crimes are some 8 years away, right? And no crimes since, not even a DUI or some such? I think he has a good chance, but yes, they will ask about it at the interview. Personally, I would recommend getting married here and applying for a spousal visa rather than a fiance one, they tend to be a little more lenient with those.
