Approved I-129F Expiration Soon

[ch1212 18]

Hi!

 

My fiance from Zimbabwe got her NOA2 (approved I-129F) mid-January of this year. Her case was sent to the embassy there. Just for some additional context and info, she is required to have her medical exam / police clearance / etc before she schedules her interview. We hired an attorney to handle the case when we started.

 

Her approved I-129F expires mid-May, in less than two weeks. For the past two weeks, my attorney and I have emailed them several times to request an I-129F extension, but the embassy hasn't responded. We will try calling them in a couple days and possibly several times again, if they don't respond. Some valuable information: Zimbabwe has been on national lockdown since the end of March, which was recently extended until mid-May (after the I-129F expires).

 

Our attorney said that the embassy will work with us even if the I-129F expires, and that we shouldn't worry... but as you'd expect, we're still worried. So, for just some extra comfort... should we be worried? Will the embassy work with us if my fiance's I-129F expires (particularly with extending it)? What can we do in this situation?

 

Thank you for helping us!!

Most consulates do it automagically in normal circumstances,  we are far from normal

Should be extended automatically due to unforseen circumstances

Many are in the same boat. No worries. The embassy will automatically consider it after they reopen.
