NOA2 question

[pnd629 0]

On my NOA2 notice, in the box where it says "Notice Type", it reads: Valid from 5/08/2006 to 9/07/2006.

Does that mean my fiance needs to have his interview before Sept. 9th or that he needs to enter the U.S. before Sept. 9th?

By looking at other people's timelines, we expect the interview will take place(in London) sometime in July. But since the interview hasn't been scheduled yet, we can't be sure. I have also read that once the visa is issued (after the interview), it is valid for 6 months. So I am a bit confused and a little worried about the dates on the NOA2.

Our case was approved by CSC May 8, 2006. I got the letter from NVC yesterday, 5/24.

An NOA2 is valid for four months, so what the date means is that the interview should be scheduled before that day. Consultates have the discretion to extend this validity, though, so even if the interview were to be after this date, it likely wouldn't be a problem.

Once the visa is issued, it is indeed valid for 6 months - meaning that your fiance has 6 months to enter the USA. After he has done so, you and he have 90 days to get married.

Thank you!

I am very much relieved.
