I know all about the non USC visiting USA and showing ties to their home country ( my husband just visited me three weeks ago with no problem). But what about visiting the USA after getting the NOA2? Any success stories in doing this? I am assuming it's the same as visiting while the I-130 is pending.

Hello,

I'm not sure but I would assume it would be 'easier' since it is more proof of returning to your home country for interview. If you've already been approved, why risk it with an over-stay?

We don't have our NOA2 yet but hope to get it in a month. My husband wants to come visit April 1 because he acutally has a free plane ticket just for that date. Three weeks isn't an overstay, but three months is!
