Travel to USA after first NOA?

[ElisabethJeannie 0]

Hi friends! 
Does anyone know if it’s possible to travel to USA after you’ve got the first NOA? (about that Nebraska service center are reviewing and have received the payment)

 I really need to go in December to arrange things with our car and lease. Also, we both live in Sweden now and I’m the beneficiary! My partner (American Citizen) has no possibility to go with me because of her work, so I need to go by myself.

Anyone who knows??? 
Thanks 🙏🏼

If you have an ESTA or visa you are allowed to enter subject to the  COVID travel / transit restrictions.

When you travel, bring a copy of your marriage certificate and proof of your spouse's US citizenship.

Thanks, okay I will bring that with me and also a letter from my employer here in Sweden that states I’m only on vacation. 

(Well that thread isn’t about traveling with an esta..)

The linked thread is actually about traveling as a visitor, whether with ESTA or B1/B2 visa.

Msny of us have visited during the process. Some of us even visited multiple times whilst waiting for the I-130 to be approved. No entry to any visitor is guaranteed but having an I-130 in the system does not bar one from requesting admission as a visitor.

Thanks again. Will they see in their system that I have an ongoing I-130 , from my passport or..?

 I also read somewhere that they are canceling ESTA now, anyone else heard about that?

For your flight to the US, do NOT check-in online.  This is to prevent your ESTA from getting automatically cancelled.

 

These reminders are from the embassy in the UK, but they also apply to those who are traveling with ESTA from other European countries covered by the travel ban proclamation --

• Do not attempt to check in for your flight online if you have an ESTA registration.
• Arrive early for your flight.
• Carry any documentation that you believe demonstrates why you have been excepted from a travel restriction, such as a Permanent Resident card (commonly known as a Green Card), a marriage certificate, or a birth certificate, so that it is available if it is requested for review.
• You may also wish to carry a copy of the Presidential Proclamation itself.
• Your status will be reviewed in consultation with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials.
• If applicable in your case, your ESTA will be reinstated in order to allow you to board.Finally, please note that the U.S. Embassy cannot provide an official letter stating that you are excepted from a travel restriction.

Good to know, thanks!!
I will be flying with KLM through Amsterdam, where I change flight to LAX, so probably my departure airport in Sweden will be the ones who check me all the way, as usual..
