Your NOA1 is ahead of mine but I got my NOA2 on last Friday. Having said that there are some differences in our petition. My case: me and my wife both are in late 20s and early 20s respectively. This is our first marriage and I have no criminal records. My spouse lives in India and USCIS gets lot of applications for Indian beneficiary, but I still got my NOA2 1 week before I reached 5 months mark.

So I am not discouraging you at all, but I suggest you to not get discouraged by thinking that you are still waiting for NOA2 but the other person who filed on 12/20 already got his NOA2.

We know ourselves that we are clear in all background checks, but CSC has to check all things before approval The only extra effort they may have to make on your file is to make sure your previous marriage did not had any problems from their prospective. Sometimes this checking process may take 1 day or may take few days to do an extensive background check.

I am sure you will get your NOA2 soon and I wish for that as well But my only request to you is not to get impatient by seeing other NOA2. Just simply take one day at a time

Good luck for your NOA2 It's on your way and coming soon

Actually this is the easy part waiting for the NOA2. Its NVC and your Embassy interview you all need to be focusing on. NOA2 does not mean you are getting , awarded, or entitled to a visa. It just simply means you passed the part where the US Government recognizes the beneficiary is indeed your relative. I been through 3 US Embassy interviews. The CO who does your interview has more power then GOD. If he or she says no, its NO. And good luck with the appeal, if you can afford it. Please, just review the help guides available from this website and talk to others who have gone through and passed interviews at the same Embassy your planning on having your interview at.

Cool! My wife and I got married on June 30, 2011.

Going through the NVC is easy for the K-visas because the NVC just sends your approved case from USCIS to the Embassy you list on the I-129f. But for the I-130 which is the CR-1 visa aka Greencard , they actually process you and approve the visa, this is why it will take longer for us to get through NVC. Make sure you triple check your papers before sending anything to the NVC. Once NVC approves your case they are going to send your file to the Embassy that will conduct your interview, NVC will also set up your interview date and send you the date in an email. On this date you must have everything ready and appear for the interview. Hopefully you will get someone pleasant and all your papers will be in order and your beneficiary will know all the answers or right things to say. They ask simple questions but its the simple questions that will trip you up. Guaranteed they will ask first question " where did or how did you and your spouse meet? and when? " LOL dont get too specific. For example , if its me they are asking I would say " we met online in april of 2010" .period. I'm not going to get into details because that can lead to me saying something else that doesn't sound right. For example, we met specifically on xyzheart.com, but really thru that we became facebook friends and thats where we started our relationship. and then facebook is mentioned, this CO might want to say oh which is it facebook or xyz???? they look for this kind of thing to trip you up. They conduct the interview in English. If your spouse doesn't understand a question tell her not to answer it because it might be wrong answer, tell her to clarify the question. If the CO has any doubt that you 2 are really living as husband and wife, they can deny you. And their definition of husband and wife might be like their own marriage, their version. Anyway the questions are simple so just keep the answers simple. They will ask when is the last time you 2 were together? They might ask "does your husband have any kids?" if your spouse says yes they will say " what is his kid's names and how old are they?" She better know the answers. Anything that a normal married couple knows about eachother they will ask and expect the right answer. Don't just think your going to walk into the Embassy and pay your fees and walk out with a visa. They dont care how much you paid or how much time you have in this thing.
