I don't recall any of those situations resulting in a denial, but you could always spend a night searching different threads... good thing is that if there is an rfe it can be addressed right there.. double check your paperwork for any errors, if you find something have a letter written and ready to go along with an entire copy of your filing just in case.. you need a copy for your spouse anyway

Nothing to worry about. Ever since they started this new redirection of our cases to local USCIS some petitioners have been asked in for interview.

So just take ur evidence and go. Good news is that many get approved on the spot or shortly after.

GOOD !!! lots of people get surprised by this and get in trouble! so you can rule that part out. Hopefully its just something really simple. Do tell us what happens though!

Hei I found you here!!!

Congrats!!

It is not all that unusual for the US citizen to be called in for a "standard interview" during the process of adjudicating the 130. One of the most common reasons for being called in for a standard interview is if the spouse was in removal proceedings when the wedding took place, but there are many other possible causes. I also received a notice for a standard interview in the middle of our 130 process. (NOA1 - 12/21/2012; notice for interview received 3/20/2013; Interview 4/23/2013). I did some reading both here on visa journey and on immigrate2us and the good news seemed to be that for most people the interview was brief and easy and an approval was given within a day. My lawyer was very concerned for our interview, but it went very smoothly and easily. The officer asked me a few factual questions to start (my name, birthdate, parents name, husband's name, birthdate, parents names) then asked how we met, asked if the families all knew about our marriage, asked how my children felt about everything and that was it. I got a text message about 4 hours later with the approval and got the actual letter 2 days later in the mail.

Anything is possible .. but keep in mind that many people are approved on the spot following a standard interview.

They would have had to request an expedite. I believe this situation is random selection.

will they deny the case if married immediately after divorce and file for i130

we didnt recieve any noa2

It depends completely on the individual circumstances of the case. Your case will be subject to increased scrutiny, and the indending immigrant to extra questioning, but there is not an automatic denial.
