NOA 2 valid from 10/20/10 to 02/19/11?

[Love is mysterios 0]

My fiancee received the approval notice/package from the Bogota embassy on Nov. 2,2010, this has been almost one month now. We have not done/started/submitted any of the documents or police records or anything as this has been on the "back burner" so-to-speak while we iron out ourselves (long story).

Question - The NOA 2 approval says that it is "Valid from 10/20/2010 to 02/19/2011". What exactly does this mean? Is it that should we not have the interview by this time it expires? Or is it that we need to submit the documents they now require (i.e. DS-2100 AND DS-230)?

I have been reading through the process and the next requirements for her to move forward on and schedule but just am a bit lost. Thanks in advance for you advice.

You have 4 months from the time the NOA2 is approved to complete the Packet 3 steps (which eventually leads to Packet 4 and the interview). Better check with the Embassy if they will automatically extend your deadline to another 4 months (they do this at the US Embassy Manila automatically, so the NOA2 doesn't expire that quickly). From there, the Embassy will ask the Petitioner if s/he is still interested in moving forward.

If you send in the Ds-2100 and the DS-230 now. Bogota Embassy is setting appointments for January. They appear to be somewhat backlogged, so it might even be February. I would suggest that you send in the two forms and gather the documents that you need. At the same time work out your issues. If you work them out, you will have an intervbiew scheduled and you go on with your life. If not, you can withdraw you petition and end it at that point.

Good luck!!!

So if I understand it correctly we MUST have the interview BEFORE the 02/19/11 date or it will expire? Or are we only required to send in the ds-2100 and ds-230 completed forms by the expiration date of 02/19/11 and the actual interview will be scheduled and may occur after the 02/19/11 date?

Thanks for your help (all of you are very kind).
