thanks for all the feedback. I got a response from the embassy via email rather quickly (same day) and they told me "not to worry" that the consulate officer can extend the date of the i-129f approval during the interview visit. Although it was reassuring to hear that I still emailed them again to clarify exactly what the situation was again, and again they said "it is not a problem, do not be concerned."

It is still unnerving to have no official document stating that, but I assume since the interview was scheduled more than a month before the expiration date we should be ok. Time will tell, I guess.

We have had a relatively seamless process so far on our K1 application for my fiance from Colombia. However, somehow they sent our final pre-interview approval of our I-129F form with the required steps and information packet to the wrong email address. It was nowhere near either of our listed emails and we lost a month of time because of this. There was also no hard copy sent to our regular mail.

In any case due to our diligence we got this final form and packet via emailing the Bogota consulate/embassy and scheduled our interview for next month. However we then noticed that our I-129F expires a week before the earliest date available to interview. We aren't sure how to get the supposed extension we've read about or if it is actually necessary to get before going. Our only effective communication so far has been with the embassy in Bogota and we've just emailed them to ask what to do. But we'd like to hear from anyone else that has been in a similar situation and what they did.

Thanks so much, and good luck to all of you.
