Expration Date

The Embassy called my fiance and told her that they were moving her visa appointment back one week. That makes it after our expiration date. Will they automatically extend the date or should I send them a letter asking for the extension?

Thanx

Once she has her interview date, it shouldn't matter. I got my NOA2 in March and because of her medical and when they set her interview date, it's well past the expiration date. Our main concern was getting the packet into the embassy before the expiration date or else we'd have to call them up to have the date extended. Once passed that stage, I didn't see the extension was necessary.

Most consulates will automatically extend the validity of the petition approval by 4 months if the delay is their fault, but it wouldn't hurt to ask for the extension anyway. It would suck to be denied for the lack of sending a simple letter.

Thank you, I was going to send the letter, but wasn't sure if there wasn't anything else I should do here in the states, like let USCIS know. I apprecitate your input.

Good luck to all in their Journey!

The request should be sent to the embassy - not USCIS. The process is now in the hands of the Department of State. Check the embassy website or contact them directly for instructions. They may allow you to make the request by email.

I have a question on this. What section do you send the letter to? The Consulate Section or the Immigrant Visa Section?
