NOA2 questions

[Californiansunset 332]

Hello everyone,

I have questions regarding the NOA2:

1. Our NOA2 got approved June 23rd but we still haven't received a hard copy. Is that normal? Can we still move on even if we haven't received the hardcopy?

2. I am going to the U.S. in September to visit my fiancé. I read somewhere that the NOA2 is only valid for 3 months (I might've remember something wrong too this was a while ago). Is it possible to have my interview some time after that in October?! I just want to visit and not move over yet.

Welcome to the forum.

You should inquire about the NOA2 hardcopy. It is necessary to have later on in the process. Some folks have had success using the NOA2 approval email message in lieu of the official hardcopy.

The embassies/consulate generally set up the appointments. Since your timeline is vacant, cannot tell where your interview will occur. Consular officials have the authority and usually automatically extend visa petition approval dates until the visa processing can be accomplished.

Good luck on your immigration journey.

Thanks a lot! Who do I contact about the hardcopy? We didn't even get an approval email yet either. It just says on the USCIS website that it was approved on June 23rd.

The interview will be in Frankfurt, Germany
