Yes, an I-129F petition can be extended for up to a year in 4-month increments by the consulate where the interview would be performed.  Often, this happens automatically; however, it's best to request this by e-mail to the consulate.

Okay thank you - Warsaw told us no a few weeks ago though  I’ll have to try again

That's totally fine with me, as long as they can provide an opportunity for an interview in the near future (next 3-4-5 months). Our NOA2 was issued 4/19, so you can imagine it already expired in August, so it has to be extended, but we really don't want to push it past 2 extensions (passing the 1 year mark) because anything past that is an unknown territory where we could be turned around to redo the whole I-129F approval process from the start. Just trying to play this safe.

Can i ask how you got it extended?! Poland told us they don’t do that..

I just want to say to everyone responding, thank you all for restoring my faith in humanity. Can’t seem to get any help/advice to these questions without a fee from a lawyer so very happy for all of your kindness. I’m looking into all of these options

I agree. The situation is getting untenable. I think perhaps contacting senators + representatives and maybe even doing it as a mass request (i.e. get multiple people to pool together) might be the best bet at this point.

I’m down if you all are, i have no idea what else to do at this point and have sunk thousands into this 

Hello,

My fiancé is a Russian citizen currently living in Kazakhstan. We are an LGBT couple and he is afraid to return to Russia. We have been trying to transfer our case to Kazakhstan, Georgia, Armenia, and Thailand and each have told us no. He does not have residence in any other country. 
 

Our validity period ends on November 5th and we still haven’t found an embassy willing to let him interview there. 
 

1.) Is it possible to get a Schengen visa outside of Russia?

2.) Does anyone know of any embassies currently accepting non-residents for K-1 interviews?

3.) A lawyer told us to request that the embassy in Warsaw extend our validity period, but they told us it would be up to the consulate who gives us an interview whether to extend it or not. Are we screwed?

Thanks everyone for your help. Exhausted and frustrated beyond belief. This process seems setup for us to fail.
