Interview Date Changed By Consular?

Do NOA2's expire? 

 

On Wednesday I scheduled my partners K1 visa interview for the earliest available appointment in Guayaquil, Ecuador which was June 21st, 2023.

 

Today we received an email that our appointment had been moved to June 26th. (I thought this was a little strange but it's only a few days difference.)

 

Only concern I have is our NOA2 says valid from 2/23/23 - 6/23/23 will we have any issues during our interview because of this?

 

Thanks for your guidance!

I believe the consulate has the authority to extend the validity of a NOA2. Pretty sure all you need to do is get new letters of intent to marry from you and your partner (signed) and take them to the interview with you. Congrats on getting your interview scheduled!

Good to know, it's only 3 days difference and had they kept our original appointment it wouldn't even be an issue.

 

We had an RFE in January of this year and had to submit new letters of intent, I have copies of these for him to take to the interview. Do you think we should make a completely new one?

 

Thank you, it's a relief knowing it's FINALLY booked (our timeline says 663 days after NOA1) so hopefully no one has to wait as long as we have!

I'll let someone with more experience answer that – I would personally make a new one out of pure anxiety, but that's me, and you may not need to! Good luck!

Make new letters specifically addressed to the consulate and also go with both interview letters. 
Do not worry about the expired NOA2 as long as you secure your appointment before it expires. It will be extended by the consular.

 

Good luck
