Hey guys! I'm new here and would appreciate any feedback re: my case.

My husband (an LPR then) and I got married in 2011. He stayed in my home country for a month. Unfortunately, we didn't get to travel because for the most part of his vacay, I was sick (i had a flu for weeks). Also, he never got to visit me again since then, because he's always in between jobs.

We filed our I-130 in July (since he became a USC in May). We received our NOA1 a few days after filing, and are eagerly waiting for our NOA2. My question is, since my husband hasn't gone back to visit me since we got married, could that raise a red flag which could ultimately lead to his petition being denied?

My mother wasn't at our wedding (only his father and sister, and a couple of friends), and we dont have a lot of photographic evidence, but we have tons of chat logs, remittance receipts, greeting cards, and we could get an affidavit from our friends. Are these things enough proof or do we need more?

Likely not the petition being denied but I suggest lots of evidence of you two keeping in good contact to sideload at the NVC or bring to the interview.
