4 months. :) When you receive your NOA2 (hardcopy), it is written in the paper until when it is valid. :)

It takes more than 4 months for some embassy's to hold the interview, and that's not counting the time NVC takes to get it to them. What then?

No problem, as long as the Cosulate is the one causing the delay! Ours expired in February, but our interview is March 13. The NOA2 expiration date is the "deadline" that you need to have responded to your Packet #3 items (DS-230 pt .1 & DS-2001) and have returned them to the Consulate so they'll schedule an interview. If YOU return your items after the expiration date, then YOU may very well have problems.

Thought I'd save making a new topic. I am due to fly to the States on April the 7th. I wasnt expecting the NOA2 to be issed before that date, but it has been today. I was aware that I needed to have evidence with me proving my ties to home, etc...Now this NOA2 has been issued, I can still go out there right? Will I need produce anything different?

Hope someone can help :)

Morning all.

Just got our NOA2 notification via email yesterday, but I was just wondering how long is this NOA2 valid for until it expires?

Thanks

The whole application itself is valid for 6 months I believe. It will say on the NOA1 when it exprires. This applies for both NOA1 and NOA2

This is not correct.... as was reported before, the NOA2 will have the validity period on it.. (4 mos.)

YMMV

Correct.

Also want to say.........There is no 100% guarantee that a petition will be extended automatically. There has been cases noted whereby consulates did not automatically extend the validity date. There is an example letter in the Examples section to extend the validity date of the petition for those that wish to do so. In my book, better to safe guard against this happening (even it it is only a chance), then to have to start all over again.

You can find me on FBI
