Hope you can help me on this one
I received my packet 3 last week and am ready to send it in. Police certificate is on the way and my SO will be visiting me soon in the UK, he is bringing with him the I-134 plus any other relevant documents.
Now the problem is that a few weeks after he filed for the I-129f petition I was diagnosed with breast cancer. The prognosis is good and though delayed a bit I’m still looking at moving over to the States in feb/march next year. My treatment will be finished by November so ideally I’m looking at having my interview in December.
- Will this cause a problem as the NOA2 runs out September16th?
- Do I have to apply for an extension on the NOA2?
- Do I send off the forms now or wait a couple of months?
- Also, do I put a note in with the forms to explain my case and that I want an interview in December at the earliest or do I contact them after the forms have been sent back?
I have yet to phone to arrange the medical and will seek their advice when I do. I need to have a waiver for the MMR jab anyway as I’m not allowed to have a ‘live’ vaccine for at least 6 months after my chemo finishes. The chemo finishes middle of August so that means I can’t have the jab until middle of February at the earliest. My tetanus is up to date.
I'm sorry to hear of your problems, but as you said, the prognosis is good.
As for the NOA2, we actually didn't know there was a limit and when he recieved his Packet 3, he was here in the US and returned 5 months later. It was only a few days before he went to the interview that we found out there was the 4 month thing. He was a little worried, but figured that since they sent out the interview date a
fter the 4 months was up, he would be ok. And he was.
I'd recommend you ask for the extension though. I don't know if ours was an exception or an oversight, or they automatically extend the dates.
As for the MMR, I believe you can have that done when you adjust status so that should be no problem.
