Pushing back Interview

[Duders 0]

Hello again! I'm here again hoping you can all give me some of your wisdom.

My fiance and I are at the point where you schedule the interview at Vancouver. However, I'm wondering how far can you push it back? This is what we want to do.

We want to marry in March. There is nothing planned, we would just have a quick ceremony at the courthouse for that date, so if need be it CAN be rescheduled... though we really want this date, it's our anniversary. However, we still want to make a visit in December for Christmas, but if we get the visa soon, I will enter and won't be able to leave and our date in March is way too close to the 90 day expiry. Are we able to just wait until October (4months since approval, when our NOA2 is about to expire) and request an extension? Is marrying in March a valid reason to get an extension or do you think we'd be denied? Or do you know if we are able to schedule in say, January right now without worrying our NOA2 would expire?

I apologize if I'm a little all over the place, hope this all makes sense. Thanks so much for your time and your replies!

When you get the visa you have 6 months to use it.

The embassy automatically extends the petition once it has it and you are working on it ie P3 etc.

Not to mention you can always email Vancouver and ask for an interview date later on if you are not seeing anything on the website. Vancouver is much more accommodating compared to Montreal generally.

When you chose a date just chose a later date, it lets you go further along or email the Van consulate, I am sure they will accomodate you. I pushed mine back by like two months throught the online booking.
