Requesting a date for the interview

[kashi1019 0]

So I guess what we are going to do is work on getting the forms filled out and turned in (at least some of them) before our I129F expires December 23rd and attach a letter saying we do wish to extend our our approval for another four months. I will email this request to the consulate as well.

Do I have to call the extortion line and get the code in order to email the embassy this? Does anyone know? If so what is the extortion line phone number? I really do not understand what the extortion line is.

Then either send in the checklist sometime in February/March requesting an interview for May or wait and send in the checklist mid April (after my fiance's trip to the US) and hope that we get an interview in time for him to be here for the wedding July 30th.

How does this sound??

Okay, so my fiance called the embassy again (for the 3rd time!).

I had him ask for the magic code so I can email and actually get a response regarding getting an extention on the NOA2. For the 3rd time, he was told that the four month validity doesn't matter, we have 12 months to get everything turned in and just make sure and bring a notarized letter of intent to the interview saying that I will still marry him. Since this was the 3rd time he was told this, I am actually feeling kind of confident with this answer. The guy would not give out the code; he said that they do not give the code out for that. My fiance asked twice but he wouldn't give it out....

I also had him ask about the delayed visa issuance and requesting a date for the interview. He asked when my fiance is planning on entering the US (July) and that he wants to come for a visit in April. The embassy guy said to wait until March/April(based on the current wait/processing timse) to mail in our forms and checklist at which point we could then attach a letter requesting a date in May. He said that wouldn't be a problem, and also if we get an interview date that doesn't work for us, we can call and change it to a different date. I didn't think that was allowed, but apparently according to this guy.

So my plan is to send in a letter formally reqesting an extension before our NOA2 expires just because I am paranoid and then send in the forms/checklist in February (in case the processing times have increased by then) with a letter attached requesting an interview in May and hope for the best........
