New Delhi: Delaying K1 interview past NOA2 validity date?

[Qasim&Shannon 0]

I must attend my fiance's interview at the New Delhi Consulate (or risk likely denial due to red flags).

However, my teaching schedule will only allow me to travel to India after mid-March. Unfortunately, the I-797 form has a validity period ending March 5.

I've read that extending the validity period is no problem for K1 visas. But I just wanted to double-check...

My current plan is to wait to submit DS160 until late February (based on anecdotal reports that interviews are typically scheduled about a month after the DS160 is submitted). Then, hopefully, the interview will be scheduled at a time when I can attend it.

Any insights/advice would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Should not be a problem. Check these DOS FAQs for more information:

Confirm with interviewing embassy/consulate.

Thanks for your concern, although I think there are a lot of pressing problems in the world more deserving of your attention than my unlikely love story, haha.

I do realize that there will likely be major incompatibility issues between my fiance and I, on many levels, which may or may not be reconcilable. However, despite being "ill-advised", our relationship is genuine. Qasim and I love each other. I am not being duped. Since that is exactly what a duped person would say, I know I can't convince you. But I think that your certainty about two people of whom you know very little is more absurd than my relationship choices

I read a quote from an Indian women about arranged marriages that went something like this: "Indians are lucky... we don't have to 'fall' in love like those poor Americans." I think this may illustrate our contrasting cultural perspectives--why in your view I have fallen into a trap, whereas in mine I am pursuing happiness. Although it's not the trap you think it is, it may be a trap of a different kind. We shall see. Regardless, your opinions are of very little consequence to me, besides being slightly amusing and-- in an odd way-- charming in their sincerity. So thanks for caring, I guess?

Best wishes, for the both of us

i'm sorry if you felt that way and think that i'm here because i didnt want an american to marry an indian . this isnt what i wanted to convey . i think your making a big mistake thats all . i don't even know you yet i took the time just to type in because i have seen many of these things happen and the last thing i heard is an american married to an indian taxi driver ended with the wife being killed by him and he committing suicide . i don't know what your love story is but atleast you could have fallen for someone a little more educated . most of the un-educated people in india can lie straight to your face . i hope you understand what your doing as neither your life nor your fiance is of my concern yet i think as a human being i should have warned you to the foolish decision (maybe or maynot be ) your going to make .( i have even emailed you )

take care.

wishing you all the best
