Should recieve NOA2 soon, can I delay interview?

[Persepolis 5]

Well I go my NOA1 in Sept. and I am at the VSC. I am seeing ALOT of September approvals (almost %50) so mine should be approved (hopefully) within the next several weeks.

The issue I have is can I delay my interview to late June. One reason being is that I am graduating in April from college and then plan to visit afterwards to see her. Furthermore, by visiting my fiance one more time I can gather more pictures and evidence to support my case (as right now I don't have many pictures ie. visual evidence).

The embassy is Ankara, Turkey and my Fiance is from Iran. I checked their website and they are not taking ANY appointments for February due to office reconstruction. Which means that March will fill out quite fast (which works to my benefit). Logically that leaves May as my time to schedule an appointment.

I know it takes a couple weeks for my case to get to the embassy and for me to send the necessary forms and be eligible to schedule an appointment, but my question is after all that is complete. Can I apply for an appointment in late June or early july without any problems?

Any advice?

from what I have read around here the approval (noa2) is good for 4 months, after that you will have to apply for an extension or have it revalidated

I thought you had 90 days from NOA2 to set an interview. I could be wrong.

Your case can sit at the embassy for up to a year with extensions, just contact the US embassy in your country once you have your case number there.
