beggin for an extension

[ms_jinga_lala 0]

As you will see in this letter, my i129f expires before my fiancee's interview. I have called, I have emailed and the answer is the same, it's up to the interviewer if they extend it or not. Fellow VJ'ers have told me that the chances are good they will extend it, however I'm sending a letter with my fiancee as an added measure (overkill?..maybe...I'm not taking chances). Writing things like this is just not my strong point. Any ideas, thoughts. How can I make sure my letter makes a positive impact and (with any luck) pulls at some heart strings without sounding like I'm whining or begging? Below is my sad, cut and dry attempt at throwing something together lol. I welcome any suggestions for making this letter work for me.

Thank you in advance!

To Whom it may concern, (I would really like to address this better - something catchy that will make the interviewer feel important)

The NOA-2 granted and I Rohit on September 22, 2009 expires on January 22, 2010. However, the embassy was unable to schedule an interview before it expired. Please be so kind as to extend the validity of our NOA-2.

Unfortunately I am unable to attend the interview with my fiance but I am available and standing by the phone (**insert phone number here**) should you wish to talk to me or if you have any questions or concerns.

Thank you for your consideration,

***siggy***

---should I mention why I can't attend the interview? (It's because I'm a single mom to 3 kids and can't just up and travel at random during the school year....I don't have family near that can watch them for me and keep them in school.)

Generally, petition validity is simply extended routinely as needed. A request is not required.

Since, the delay for the interview is due to the embassy. They will automatically extend your petition, and the letter is not really necessary. A letter is required to extend if they are requesting pending documents after the interview you can not provide by the time your petition expires.
