Hi,
I don't recommend you wait the 30 days to hear from NVC! They will push your case to the back burner. Send them an inquiry after 7-10 days from your NOA2 date asking if they have received your case and for the case ID and invoice number. They will say they haven't received your case but at least it will bring it to their attention. Then send them another inquiry after 15-20 days after you NOA2 date asking them for case number and invoice number, by that time they will give it to you. I also recommend sending them a third inquiry after you have your case letting them know your email and your fiance's email. I saw this in one of the guides here and I did. After about the 30 day mark I asked NVC when they will send it to the embassy and told me when they would send it. My fiance also received an email when it was sent. It may have been overkill on my part 😅 but, I was on top of them based on the advice of them folks here an seems to have worked. Now I am just waiting on the embassy to schedule an interview.
My ex is from the Philippines, here through K1 process. We were married for 5 years, then divorced. I applied for a 2nd K1 approximately one year after divorce. It was approved and her visa is already in hand. My ex is still in the US. She is a US citizen now. That was one of my conditions for divorce, so the I-864 would be nullified. I don't think my previous marriage was even discussed at the interview, other than to be sure she knew it existed.
Other than your continued obligation for potential support, through the I-864, your ex has nothing to do with you or your petition. She is on her own, like any other ex. Since you already have NOA2, you have already met the requirements for YOU. All that is left is for your fiancée to meet HER requirements. I doubt the consulate will do much more than advise her that you have done K-1 before that didn't work out and question her a little more vigorously about your relationship. They are not match-makers. Their sole job is to look for fraud or legal reasons for denial. Have your fiancée take plenty of evidence of your relationship. Make sure she is well informed about your divorce, why it happened, and very comfortable discussing it during the interview.
I am hesitant to compare the interview process for the Philippines to India. I have no idea what is asked in India.
You are not the first to get a second K-1, but your divorce date vs your filing date is really close together, so that is why she might get extra questioning about it. Prepare her for that and you should be fine.
