When requesting an extension do you really need packet 3 completed this is the reason I need a 4 month extension to finish it up I sent a e-mail to sydney consulate requesting an extension this is their reply:

Your I-129F petition will have expired by the time you attend your final visa interview. To revalidate your petition, please have your U.S. citizen fiancé provide you a letter, requesting that your petition be extended to a further 4 months from the approval date of the I-129F petition. This letter must be dated and signed by your fiancé.

The letter from your U.S. citizen fiancé(e) should state their intention to still marry you within 90 days of your arrival into the U.S. with the K-1 visa and that you both are still free to marry.

You should send this letter with the required Packet 3 documents.

When you have obtained all of the documents required for your case, complete and mail all of your documents (do not fax or scan) with DSL-1076 to advise the U.S. Consulate General in Sydney that you are ready for your final visa.

Within 30 days of receiving the packet 3 required documents, a confirmation email will be sent to you (known as "Packet 4") regarding the scheduled time and date of the final visa interview. Please be aware, final visa interviews are scheduled for Tuesday mornings only. You will be scheduled for the first available date.

anyone have any experience just sending in the letter requesting the extension by itself??thanks

I'm not sure how Astralia works about extentions since I'm going through the Philippines. But, they have 2 qoates in common. Free to Marry and intention of Marrying in 90 days. Why they asked for additional paperwork I don't know. If you e-mailed them before the exspire date of your NOA2 then they should grant it. But, there are no guarantees. I have done the same thing. I would e-mail the Embassy and see if you extention is granted.
