Hello guys, I need your advise once again..

long story short.. I'll try :)

I started gathering information about K1 visa exactly one year ago. So far I've learned a lot about it but nothing about rescheduling/postponing interview since I never considered this as might-need option. We (me and my fiancee) were planning to marry in early July and after calculating the time needed for final visa issue (~8 months) I sent I-129F in the last days of October (+8mo. + 6 mo.). But things are happening to good to be true, we got approved faster than I though it would happen and on top of that we now have to change our plans for marriage. She won't be able to come here till somewhere in mid-August. Right now we are "In transit" to embassy after NVC and I'm expecting them to get I-129F package this week.

Long time ago when I contacted embassy they told me after they get the package they will contact her/me in 1 day - 2 weeks, and she will have 3-5 weeks to collect documents and come for interview. In average that's about 5 weeks. So I'm guessing she will have interview in March. Visa is good for 6 month (March + 6mo. = September). That fits into our new plans But I dont want her to wait till the last days of that six month (you never what might happen) so I would like to know how to postpone my not yet scheduled interview for a month or two. My NOA2 is valid till 5/10/2016. And I'm guessing I have to chose the date for interview, or will embassy do it?

Also, I know all embassies have different requirements, but could you tell me if birth certificate and police certificate need apostille. Some people say both certificates need it, others say none needs it. Maybe I should ask this my embassy?

Thank you in advance

I cleaned My Timeline. Hope nobody minds

Yes, you will have to choose the date for your interview. You can choose any date that works for you. In terms of the NOA2 expiration, the embassy will automatically extend it's validity.

What's your country?

As far as I understand it is valid 6 months from the medical not the interview...

I've read somewhere the medics can be done in the morning and you can go there afternoon/ evening to pickup the results. So, that's one day process, thus she can do that few days before interview. Either way she'll have six months then

Well that depends what country people are from since it is different from country to country. A lot of places they won't give you the result but they will mail it to the embassy. Here for example it takes about 14 days to reach the embassy because the medical in Copenhagen mail it to the embassy in Stockholm in Sweden

Hey guys, maybe this will help someone. So, I emailed embassy (Almaty, Kazakhstan) and asked the same questions there directly. Here's what I got

—Do you require Apostille/Certificate of Authentication for translated Birth Certificate - NO

—Do you require Apostille/Certificate of Authentication for Police (Clearance) Certificate - NO

—If my Approval /NOA2 expires on 5/10/2016 can we have interview close to that date not in March which I am expecting based on your timeline (1day - 2 weeks plus 3-5 weeks = that's in average one month)? - The interview can be postponed, pls advise if April 19 or 26 are ok.

and PS. I've read somewhere this embassy hold interviews only in Tuesdays so I asked that too. here's the answer - Interview on Tuesdays only, K visas are ready on Thursdays.

Admins, if you want you can close this topic
