A majority of the embassies automatically extend the validity of the petition (up to a year).    That is basically what the response your received states .. in gubermint-eeze language.

Thank you for responding!

They basically gave you the standard boilerplate DOS answer. Here is basically the same statement from a DOS Nonimmigrant Visa (K1). FAQs website:

REF:  https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/family-immigration/nonimmigrant-visa-for-a-fiance-k-1.html#11

 

The short answer:  You brought up a non-issue, let them do their job. 

LOL ok just wanted to make sure! Thanks!

My point was that the consular will use his magic pen to re-validate on the day of your interview.   In any case, they do it automagically in HK

Haha ok thanks!

Or they will extend it at the interview.  Its form over function

But I have not had my interview yet. I'm still waiting for some docs from my fiancé to be sent to me. He recently lost his job. 

I emailed the US-HK consulate about extending the K1-Fiance visa approval which is valid from Jun-4 to Oct-3, 2019.. This is their reply.

"We are writing in response to your email.  Consular officers can extend the validity of the petition (revalidate the petition) if it expires before the processing of the visa application is completed.  A request is not necessary."

Does that mean they will extend before it expires?

Thank you so much!

1.  The consulate can extend if needed......no need to do that yet, imo.

2.  Yes.  Both the petitioner (even though his income is currently zero)  and the Joint sponsor(s) would complete  I-134s and provide supporting documents.  You can read the instructions for the I-134, but consulate sometimes have preferences as to what they want to see.

3.  Copies unless specified by the consulate.

Thank you so much! I really appreciated that!

Filipino living in HK. Interview will be in US Embassy in HK. 

NOA2 valid from 06/04/19 to 10/03/19.

My fiancé (petitioner) recently lost his job. It's been 2 weeks and he still haven’t found a job yet. 

I have some questions:

1.    Should we extend the NOA2 validity as a safety net

2.    Can fiancé ask his parents for Affidavit of Support (form I-134) instead. If he hasn’t find a job yet

About the supporting docs for I134 Form: 

1.    Should it be original (Statement from bank, Statement from employer, previous W-2)

Thank you much!
