OK so I posted this in another thread with no responses, so I just started a new thread and copied and pasted the post If you guys could help me with this, I would appreciate it! Thanks



This was a big concern for me as well...my fiance just sent out packet 3 on Saturday....our NOA2 expires July 10th. I was under the impression that you had to had your visa by then, not the sending out of packet 3. If it's meant that packet 3 is to be sent within 4 months then no worries for me!! I'm wondering however, if we should get a hold of someone to possibly get our interview sooner because if we need the visa completed by the time the NOA2 expires(in about a month's time!! ) then we better be on it as it's a month away. If anyone knows where I can get info on this, I would greatly appreciate it!

The embassy will automatically extend the NOA2. What you will need for the interview are re-affirmed letters of intent to marry. Otherwise, this is no biggie. Relax and fret not!

So the 4 month expiration date for the NOA2 is for the whole process to be completed, interview done, visa in hand? I'm getting mixed answers, some say the 4 months is to send back packet 3, others say you have 4 months to interview date. I'm so confused right now!! Should I just go ahead and send him another letter of intent to marry? Our NOA2 expires July 10th, he send packet 3 out June 7th...maybe he should call someone to schedule interview closer? I don't know, any other answers would be great!

Listen to the facts, as applicable to the US Embassy in London. Other answers you are receiving in another forum may be based on experiences at other embassies as the process can vary.

You DO NOT need to have your interview within the 4 months of the NOA2 period of valididty. If the NOA2 expires prior to your fiance's interview, the US Embassy in London will automatically extend the NOA2. At the interview, your fiance will need to supply the US Embassy in London personnel with updated letter of intent to marry from you and your fiance. You do not need to call the US Embassy in London, nor do you need to write to them at this time. Whether you get an interview date at the US Embassy in London before or after the NOA2 expiration date of July 10 is of no consequence.

The only answer you need is how the London embassy deal with this issue. People's experience will vary depending on the embassy they've been dealing with. London has been consistant in this matter, and the way they work is found in the answer you have already got:

*sings*

hail to the Julez; she's the one we all say 'hail' to
we all say 'hail' cos she knows of what she speaks...

You wanna hear what you need to do if you go through the Embassy in Prague? Maybe I just don´t understand the original question

or maybe you're a cheeky monkey

Can I be really lame and hail Julez without reading her post? Or should I just throw peanuts?

Aww, hail! Ya'll are nuts!!

peanuts?

macadamia for me, thankyouverymuch
