Concern about Interview Date, date is for December and Our NOA2 expires in May

[Bert_Vzla 0]

Hello everyone,

I thank you all for the help you have provided us during our timeline. From the start we have been checking with this forums to see how things flow and it has been great, later I'll more on the whole ordeal.

We have obtained our NOA2 Approved around January 29th, 2009 and around February 3rd, 2009 we received the NVC notice that the case has been sent to the embassy. My fiancee sent an email two weeks after the NVC letter to the embassy to check up on the information needed for the interview and when would the interview scheduled. The embassy has replied with a December 2009 date and that is way beyond our time frame for the I-129f notice approval of May 2009.

What should/could we do? Send another email back to confirm this date? I called the embassy and was told that I have to do things over email.

Any one else encountered this before, any words of wisdom are greatly appreciated. We are hoping to be married this summer,

Again, thank you all for your time and effort helping others though this process.

According to an NVC employee I talked during our Administrative Processing stay, as long as a case is in USCIS, NVC or USEM hands, no document can expire. They get automatically extended.

Our NOA2 expires on April 10th and our interview is scheduled for April 8th. We contacted the embassy for the millionth time, just to make sure we have enough time for any and all additional processing, requests for more evidence, forgotten/lost papers, COs getting sick and disappearing.. basically any and all problems we might encounter. They said we were safe, even though the interview will be happening only two days before our NOA2 expiration date.

If I were you, I would contact the embassy and explain the situation, or just basically point out the problem. They might've overlooked it, but at the same time, there's a chance they'll be automatically extending the petition because of whatever backlogs they're dealing with. Personally, I think it's really weird they are scheduling the interview this far away. What embassy are you dealing with? I had no idea any of them were that backlogged.

Thank you, I'll add the timeline when I get home. Writing the email as polite as possible to see if the date was a mistake.

We are going to the Caracas embassy in Venezuela.

The Embassy routinely extends the validity period of the I-797 automatically if you're not going to make the 4 month timeline but I would still contact them to be absolutely certain.

good luck

Thank you all for the advice, was browsing through the Visa Journey timeline. And maybe we hurried ourselves a bit much. Since the time when NVC sent the case to the Caracas embassy has been 2 weeks.

Hope this is the problem and soon we will receive a better date.

Hi! I am also having my interview in Caracas

I think it is crazy to have your interview in December 2009, there might be some kind of mistake, you should write them again!

We wrote them as soon as NVC told us they already sent the package to Caracas via DHL, they didint answer in the next 5 working days, so we wrote again and finnally gthey ave us our appointment for March ....

Try writing them again, be sure to write on the subject your CRS number and name of petitioner and beneficiary...

As I have seen here in Venezuela, usually, the Interview is two (02) months after the NOA2 approval date.

Let me know if you require further information
