Hello,

Our K1 Petition expires on 9/1/06. My fiance already had his interview but he did not get visa yet on August 3. Our case was put on administrative review because they need to do a fingerprint check. When we got our approval letter from USCIS was good from May till 9/1/06. Since the embassy already has our petition and is working on it should I not worry about the 9/1 expiration date. I just don't want any more delays. Embassy requested fingerprint check and advised it would be a 2 to 3 month delay. Is this something I should be worried about?

Anyone have any experience where embassy was still working on case after the petiton expired from USCIS? Automatic extension?

Thanks for your help.

Allie

Even so, I would email CDJ and request an extension. From what I have seen here and on other forums, CDJ regularly makes mistakes on these types of things - better to be safe.

Waiver approved after 10 months. Did NOT use a lawyer

Thanks! I think I will just send a quick email to them to be safe. My lawyer advised it was automatic but sometimes I don't think he knows everything. Hopefully we will see a lot of good news on VJ this week.

There has been issue with this in the past, even though in general they will automatically extend the petition for up to another 4 months. An email to the consulate requesting an extension because the visa has yet to be issued would take care of that chance.
