Background checked before or after NOA2?

[Me&myBaby 10]

Hi everyone!!! It is my first post, but I've been following VJ for months and we love it!

I just got my NOA2 this week after almost 7 months, and of course we are very happy. The thing is, I have 2 H1B (business visa) for real employers that wanted to hire me while I was in the US (in 2010) that were denied, and a tourist visa cancelled. I don't have a ban because I haven't overstayed, but it may look like I want to get married just to inmigrate.

What really happened whas that in the process of waiting for my work visas (lawyer specifically told me that I could wait inside the US), I met my fiance. Of course we were sad when I had my visa denied and had to live... but we kept in touch, he came last year to visit me and he propose!!! Then we traveled again later the same year just because we missed each other.

So what I wonder is if we got our NOA2 does it mean that they have checked my background already or I can still have problems at the interview? I have tons of proof, pictures, affidavit, etc etc...

Thanks in advance!!!

When you get a NOA2, the background checks have been done.

Checks are done at the USCIS, then NVC does checks and the Embassy does checks. Everyone does checks. Denial of previous visas usually do not affect future visa petitions. If your relationship is legit, you should be fine.

You won't be sure until you have the visa in hand. Check can also be done after the interview.

I guess they never stop checking on us huh! I do have everything since we have been together for almost three years so hopefully it will be ok.

thanks Baron!

There is no reason to be hopeful....you will get the visa if all in both backgrounds is normal and you have a legit relationship and the evidence to prove it to a total, but trained stranger, the Embassy CO.

It should....but the same thing happened with my work visas, also had all the documentation from employers, etc and where everything was supposed to go smothly and I lost time, money and had a horrible time.
