Reasons for I-129f to be denied at NOA2 stage

[Bubblegum92 0]

Hii

So I recently applied for the I-129f fiance visa and yesterday I recieved a notification to my e-mail saying that my case was accepted and that I'll be receiving the Noa 1 by mail in the next 7-10 days. I read while searching that I could recieve a noa2 with a rejection so I shouldn't get my hopes up. My Q is what are reasons for denial at that stage?

Not free to marry

USCIS is free to base a decision on the documents you provided. Usually, you'll get an RFE before you'll get a denial. There are 3 basic requirements for the petition, and all of them have to be fulfilled. If you neglected to include proof of being legally free to marry, being a US citizen or having met within the last 2 years, your petition will be denied. Or if anything else is missing and you neglected to respond to the RFE. One exception is havng comitted a serious crime and you're a danger to your future spouse/kids.

Not many people get denied in the petition stage though. The requirements are very basic. There are 3 main steps until you are finally reunited. The first one is the petition, the second one is interview/receiving visa and the third one is in the US when adjusting status(receiving greencard based on your marriage/original petition). At each stage, you have to submit documents to prove that you're eligible. So, if you prove you're eligible, you're almost approved.

The vast majority of all I-129f petitions are approved. Denials are usually based on things like not being able to prove having met in person in the last two years, the petitioner not being able to prove US citizenship, either party not being legally free to marry under US law, or the petitioner posing a threat to the prospective immigrant.

Most refusals don't happen at the petition stage but at the actual visa interview.
