If you have a chance, you can check his response history.
He withdrew his application after his wife got an interview and he thought withdrew will be a smart choice. He thought that could make his application's gcms clean. But actually everything had been already written in the gcms notes even the application is withdrawn. I really cannot get his point.
because a refusal is worse if you do not intend to APPEAL (it means you agree with their decision), and I did not wish to appeal an application with too many flaws, concerns, and 20 red flags etc. Generally it is recommended by lawyers to withdraw and reapply if the application was poorly made and I admit I definitely went in blind/totally unprepared but after 2 years of this and much research, I totally understand how it has to be done.
Appealing in some cases is an uphill battle, there are many unfortunate souls who got denied at appeal, spent many thousands of dollars down the toilet and now will have extreme difficulty to sponsor their spouses again due to Res Judicata.
I truly wish every one on this thread to succeed.
