Hello hopefully someone here can help me out! I met my wife June 3rd 2014 and married January 21st 2017... applied for CR1 and our PD is March 27th, so far its been 211 days and no NOA2 i have called USCIS spoke to Tier 2 officer and was just told to wait that it takes 9 months etc. Someone recently mentioned to me that if she had applied before for a tourist visa and it was denied that my case would most likely be sent to Background check and thats why my case has not been approved yet and many other march filers cases have been, and a lot of april filers too. SO my question is my wife applied for a tourist visa before we got married and was denied because she did not have a job and enough money to support the trip, the officer asked how she would be paying and she said she had family here who would help her out. Either way it was denied so would that affect our i130 process? sorry if its the wrong thread, I'm desperate! 

Many folks have previous visa denials; my wife had numerous F1 denials on her record, and other than the "have you ever applied for a U.S. visa before" question, they never came up at all.
