Interview date day after petition expires!

[dawn13 6]

Has this ever happened to anyone else? Our petition expires on July 7th and my fiance's interview date is July 8th!! He called the embassy and they said for him to just send a notarized letter of intent from me, and gave him an address. But I'm just worried.

This is very common in busy embassies -- it's generally nothing to worry about. They extend the validity.

The (packet 3) instruction letter from London says a notarized letter of intent is required to revalidate an expired petition. Ask your fiancé to get out the letter and read it again. They give a date at the bottom by which the visa must be done or else you are asked to get a new letter. I too would have said no problem but a recent interviewee was told they couldn't be approved until it was submitted. They were actually a few days short of expiration, so I don't know if there were other factors that made the officer suspicious of this couple so they were making them jump through more hoops or not. I haven't heard of that in London before, so It does make me wonder. Anyway...just passing on the London info to you.

figures if it's going to happen to someone in London it happens to us lol well I sent him two notarized letter's of intent, one which he already mailed to them and one that he is taking with him to the interview. we have all our bases covered, all paperwork in order, so all we can do is keep our fingers crossed and pray all goes well......this is all so STRESSFUL!!!
