Embassy Delhi India sent me petition to USCIS to either re-affirm or revoke, GOT NOID (notice of intent to revoke) from USCIS.

I have responded and USCIS re-affirmed the petition in 5 working days and sent it to NVC...

I confirmed with NVC and they have sent it to Delhi Embassy in India....

Now.... what?

1. Can it be a second interview for beneficiary and/or petitioner?

2. Can it be a Embassy's investigation or visit to beneficiary's house (they went to the house earlier during first cycle)?

3. Embassy can take decision on this and ask for beneficiary's passport to issue visa?

What should I expect? Any comments/suggestions/advice is welcome....

Please feel free to comments... good or not good... I like to hear it.

NOTE: Our marriage was and is viable as any other marriage and we did nothing wrong, just want to be together and live happily.

There will most definitely be a second interview. Any forms/medical/pcc/police certs that you had first sent may have expired and new ones will need to be collected.

Did they do a home visit the first time? Was your case sent into the fraud unit? Were you placed on AP? These things may happen, or may happen again depending on what happened the first time around. In general, a re-affirmation is a good thing, you "won" this round. Typically, it is just a second [rather basic/simple] interview.

Two things to be sure of - if you are now past your second wedding anniversary, make sure that they [the consulate or at POE] "upgrade" the case to an IR-1. Also, if the beneficiary is a male Muslim do NOT be alarmed if he is placed into AP for name checks. This is very typical for India and specifically for New Delhi - name checks take at least 6 weeks, sometimes more.
