Thanks for your response, would mind telling me what type of mistake in the names were there??? My petition has been submitted and my foreign marriage certificate has a slight mistake in that they quoted my parents names by their first and middle names thinking their middle names were their last names. I don't think it should be a big deal because I don't think that the U.S. requires having my parents names on the marriage certificate, but just to check with other peoples experiences, what kind of name mistake was yours? Thanks!

well there was a mix up with the names. husband's name in place of wife and vice versa.

i noticed the mistake and had it rectified before starting the whole i-130 process.

What kind of information did you get at your infopass? Was it useful?

I did post about it but here it is again...it was no help what so ever. she told me stuff that i already knew. she also told me someone else came before me who had filed 2 months before i did and he didnt receive noa2 as well. she was saying newyork is backed up thinking my case was transfered to NY also. but when she looked for it, it was never transfered to NYC and its still at NBC. she said just wait. she said if u try to expedite u will delay it even more.

Thanks for your response, sorry to make you repeat it! I am doing an infopass on Tuesday so we will see what I find out. I have been waiting since Jan and mine started out at NBC and then was transferred to Memphis, that has been confirmed, and thats all I know as well.

Don't have a timeline? Don't know how to get started with it? Do it for the statistics sake: VJ video guide

Filing for a USC spouse visa (IR-1/CR-1) and not sure what comes next? Check out the VJ IR-1/CR-1 guide

Want to know what's happening with your case? Here's the USCIS tracking page (get an account and see if the case's been 'touched'!). Don't get your hopes up though, some cases never even appear there despite being successfully processed.
