Letter of intent to still get married (expiring i797) handwritten/ Interview Date?

[srvman 38]

Howdy, Merry Christmas, and a happy new year.

My fiance sent me some of the documents, in preparation for the interview, including the new letter of intent as we will be past the i797 expiration date by time we have interview. She has hand-written it though. Does this pose a problem?

Another question, instead of a separate thread:

I have my medical (January 15th) booked, and sent of the DS-160 and form of readiness (although I think I have done this too early, but the process is kind of confusing, plus it said on the form did I have a medical booked, so went ahead with it.) I did that on December 12th, so hopefully around the time of the medical I should have an interview date. Or am I being optimistic? Should I be calling for an interview? (As this was the process for my previous 3 visas)

Thanks for any help.

Chris

London says in the letter of instruction you got that her new letter of intent should be notarized for them to revalidate an expired petition. Sometimes they don't bother to ask for it. It can be handwritten.

London website says the results of the medical must be received at the embassy before they will assign you an interview, so don't expect an interview in January. Somebody recently got one before their medical results arrived but that is not the norm at all. Most wait several weeks following the medical before they are notified of their interview date. Some wait 4-6 weeks before they get an Interview assigned.

And without trying to sound too much like a numpty. Notarized means it has her signature on it? (Which it does)

Nope. Notarized means it has to be signed in the presence of a Notary Public and they also sign/stamp it. It can be done at most banks and some UPS/FedEx stores.

humph. Thanks, at least I found out now, before it is too late. Seems a bit ridiculous considering all the forms, and payments we have made for this process, that they would need this letter to be notarized. I am guessing I shouldn't get her to sign and date it until the day after my NOA2 expiry?

She takes the letter unsigned and undated with her to the Notary Public, wherever she chooses to go. She signs and dates it with them watching her, and then they do their thing as well. So long as this all takes place after the expiry date, you're fine.
