NOA2

[johnnyv 20]

So I received my NOA2 today and I have a question. It says it's good through 1/26/14. Do I have to have my interview before then? The situation with Amy and I (she's Canadian) is that I really want to attend her medical and interview to further help our case, but I'm all out of vacation time for 2013. I really hope to be able to schedule our interview/medical in January, as I'll be able to attend then. Does this plan sound like it'll be a problem? Do they offer extensions to the NOA2 date just in case? How easy and fast is to schedule a medical and interview?

I don't think there is need to attend her medical. I would strongly recommend to attend her interview.

She doesn't drive and I was going to take her to the medical and interview when I visit. It's about an 8 hour drive that I'm sure no one else will do for her besides me. I want to be there to support her through everything.

Do you have some kind of red flags that make you feel you should be there for her interview and medical?

I have a prior marriage, but other than that, no. I just always thought it would be best to be there for her and it would also help show a more legitimate relationship. I would do anything to make sure they see that without question, hence why I want to be there. Plus she's nervous so support is ideal.

The two of you are nervous/worrying needlessly. As a Canadian, she will not be undergoing nearly as much scrutiny as some people must from other countries (where it is VERY advisable for the US fiance(e) to be present). Since she's going through Vancouver, which is very fast, it's possible the two of you could be together in the US as soon as 6 weeks from NOA2. If you have no red flags, it's all very painless and really no big deal, and I think you'll be kicking yourself if you put it off until January just so you can be there (and the US fiance(e) just sits in the waiting area at the interview, anyway).

That is awesome that you are so supportive! I know I would like to be with my Canadian for his interview, not because of any red flags, but because we are going through this process together Good luck with the NVC and I hope everything goes smoothly and you are able to be there with your fiance during the interview!

You can request an extension. I'll be doing that one myself since my dang house won't sell. Contact Vancouver when you get the vac # (think vac is the consulate code. Something along those lines. It's morning bear with me)

Admirable that you want to attend, my now husband came to the interveiw as well. As for the medical, otherh than driving and being supportive there is nothing you can influence or affect, you will not be in the room with her. Always nice to have company though!

I honestly don't think we have any red flags, I just wanted to be there for her. We wanted to have our interview in January and have her brought to the states in march. She wabts a little more time with family first, which i'm okay with. :-)
