i'll try that. thanks,

still getting so many mixed messages..

the call center told me that there are no interview appointments available for the next few months (Which would also be an issue)

the email support is telling me that i need to pay an interview fee in order to go to this interview to request an extension.

We want to simply extend validity of petition (expiration) because my fiance will be finished with school only at the end of the year and this cuts into the 6 months window of validity.

Make sense?

Anyone have any insight here?

Hi there, wondering if someone can shed some light. I've gone through the petition process for the K1 Visa and received NOA2 with an expiration date of 8/8/2015. My fiance is currently in school and will finish at the end of the year. We originally submitted paper work assuming that the NOA2 would take a long time, but it came quick!

I've emailed the local consulate and asked for an extension and they told me that my finace must set up an interview appointment to request the extension.

Anybody know why the consulate may be requesting him to come in? EVERYTHING i've read says that the consulates auto renew for 4 month periods.

Help?

Dear Sir,

As mentioned in our previous emails, the applicant must attend an interview and explain to the interviewing officer the reasons for extension. The consular officer will instruct the applicant on how to proceed on the day of the interview in terms of extending the validity of the petition.

Best Wishes,
