Postpone interview?

[ARIANNA 0]

I have already asked in the CDJ Consulate discussion and have asked this same question on diferent forums, so please don't move this post because nobody has been able to answer me with certanty yet.

My NOA2 said to be for my interview before January 8 2009

I WILL NOT be able to make it before then.

Can I change my date? How? Where?

Or can I show up after this date with my invitation letter?

Please help!!! I am running out of time!!!

Thanks!

Petition approval expires in four months but Consular officers can and routinely do extend the validity. You attend the interview as scheduled on your invitation letter whether before or after the expiration date you see on the NOA2.

The only thing I know is that Ciudad Juarez Consulate gives open apointments for Fiance Visas. We can go any day of the week without apointment. What I don't know is if I can go after my expiration date or how to postpone it.

If there is ANY way at all to make it do so. Any time you mess with changes sh!t can happen. If you no way can. Call the embassy. In the Philippines if you reschedule the next appointment is over 2 months later. No idea about Mexico tho!

My fianceé's NOA 2 expired in early June 2008, and I didn't even notice until after it expired! I think I even called NVC or USCIS when I found out and they told me it didn't matter. Anyways, as you know, my fiancée had her open appointment interview December 23, 2008, almost 7 months after the NOA 2 expired, and she had no problems whatsoever. I think you will be all set. Good luck.

I will definitely NOT be able to make it before Jan 8.

So there is a posibility that it won't matter to them? But this is still no certanty.

Anyone else have any experience in this?

Have you tried to call the Embassy?

as pushbrk suggested, the Embassy will routinely extend the validity date of the I-797 (noa2) but normally due to their delay. I would contact the Embassy, if possible, and request an extension just to be safe. If they are hard to reach you may want to contact DOS to make them aware of your request. It would be awful to have to go through the entire process again.

I do not know your circumstances or reason for delay so this may not pertain to your situation at all.... but I just want to be certain that you understand the K-1 visa, once issued, is valid for 6 months. So, if you went in January, you would not need to enter the US until July at the latest. Just throwing it out there.

good luck whatever happens.

I am in the US with my fiance, but we ran into some financial problems (2 traffic tickets) and some other stuff that took some of our savings, so I can't afford the trip at the momment. Plus we have a 3 year old girl and we also need a babysitter for those days. We just can't do it now.

I am going to try to call the Embassy today or tomorrow and see if I can change my date.

I was thinking that seeing how many people miss their apointment because they didn't recieve their letter on time, that the Embassy shouldn't have a problem with those dates. They should give at least 6 months or specific instructions on what to do in these situations.

Anyway thanks again and I will post to let you guys know what they told me over the phone.

Happy New Year everyone!

Ok, was told by the CDJ Consulate to NOT let over 6 months pass and that the Invitation Letter IS an OPEN Invitation to the Interview.

Said to go with all documents required and can show up Monday to Friday except every last Friday of the month and US and Mexican holidays.

Said that if you let over 6 months pass then the case might get cancelled or filed and then further delay your case.

So thanks again to all who answered and I hope this helps someone else in the future.

Well hopefully you can make it there and be done with this step!

It would most likely help many if you could post about your experience and note this information in your Embassy review.

good luck!
