Hi there! I am just curious to know if there is any cause for concern because our NOA1 expires on 1/18/08 and our paperwork JUST arrived in Sweden. We will not have an interview by the 18th, and I did not want to have any delays/problems because our approval notice expires. Is there something we should do to have it extended or does it get extended automatically? Thank you for any help/advice on this!

That seems to be Embassy specific, for example the china automatically extends all NOA2 approvals , as no one gets a interview before expiration.
You may want to email the embassy in Sweden with your concerns.

Thank you!
I just went to their website and there does not seem to be any way to email them. I can fax them (too bad I do not have a fax machine) or snail mail them. I can also call them and the hours they take phone calls regarding visa cases is Mon through Thurs from 1-3 PM. Too bad I'm sleeping then (thats 4-6 am here). So I'm not sure exactly how to contact them about this. I asked my fiance if he could call but he works every day between 1 and 3 PM and cannot call either. I do not know why they do not have an email address, do most consulates have one? Am I just not looking in the right place to find it? Thanks for your help!

Next best thing to do is call DOS Visa Services and talk to an operator.I just went to their website and there does not seem to be any way to email them.
