[BOKURAGAITA 101]

Hi! 

Our petition was approved last year March2020, are they going to extend that if we dont get any interview? Im confused, i emailed but no response not even autoreply. 

 

Thank you.

https://fam.state.gov/fam/09FAM/09FAM050207.html "the consular officer may revalidate the petition any number of times for additional periods of four months from the date of revalidation, provided the officer concludes that the petitioner and the beneficiary remain legally free to marry and continue to intend to marry each other within 90 days after the beneficiary's admission into the United States."

As noted the petition validity can be extended by the embassy.   You may have to pay another visa fee as that is normally valid for only 1 year, not sure if the embassy will make exceptions because of the beer virus BS.

Thank you, i don't know what to do or say anymore. We paid our visa fee last May 2020 hopefully before it expires they give us interview. 

 

Thanks again.
