Yes, normally NOA2 is valid for 4 months. It's stated on the hardcopy of your NOA2. Hence, your deadline is July 23. However, the Embassy has the authority to extend its validity for another 4 months. All you, or your fiance, should do is just contact the Embassy, preferably by email, and ask them to extend your NOA2. You don't have to give a specific reason, just mention work or family circumstances that require you to stay in your home country for a longer time. If you do that, you will have plenty of time to prepare for your TOEFL. Please remember that statistically, people who take TOEFL the second time score 10 points higher on average. They do better just because they get familiar with the format of the exam. I hope this will encourage you!
Don't listen to anybody on the Internet whe tells you that your faince doesn't love you just because he wants you to succed on TOEFL and go to school. To me it's a sign of maturity and realistic apporach to life. Let's be honest. Love is important, but bills must be paid, and two incomes are better than one. Only you can know who is right for you, and who is not. Do yourself a favour, make an effort on your TOEFL. Even if this relationship does not work out, you lose nothing. Your knowledge and TOEFL certificate will remain with you. 
I wish you luck in your endeavors. 

Hey all ... I'm sorry and I feel really bad for not being able to help you with posting the December scans for the last week. We had trouble with the internet connection and the scans didn't run well. We also had his kids with us and that was important for me to spend time with them. So yes I totally forgot to look into VJ and again ... I apologize for not giving a heads up at least.
Let me know if you need to see them here in the November thread or if it is fine to have them in the Decenber thread.

Oi Priscila, tbm estou nesse processo, e minha dúvida é o noivo pode tbm ir na entrevista, ou só se eles(imigração) pedirem pra ele ir? e outra dúvida tbm é ao respoder as perguntas eles querer respostas rápidas, ou respostas detalhadas?
aguardo um retorno ansiosamente.
 Obrigada.

Hi Priscila... no, we still didn't get our NOA2 yet, we got our NOA1 on December 28th which it means we might get our NOA2 by the end of this month or so (3 months), can't wait for it. I wish I could share my anxiety with someone that is the same situation as me ? lol
Anyways we will see it, hopefully I will have good news soon.
Good luck for us. ?
