Ning, I am starting to get a little stressed

[khwaidee1 196]

I read about your monumental wait and some time frames you gave me and I'm getting a little stressed. Here's why: my NOA2 Approval date is July 2, 2012. It is valid from June 8, 2012 to October 7, 2012. It was entered at the NVC on July 6, 2012. Called today and it's still at the NVC supposed to leave Monday or Tuesday. Obviously, as soon as it's at the Consulate Packet 3 will be sent via EMS to BKK. So, assuming they get it and enter it by next week, they should have our Packet 3 by the end of July. That gives them only 2 months to schedule the interview before our NOA2 expires!!! Do you think they pay attention to the NOA2 dates when they process the Petitions? I would hate for our NOA2 to expire while our Petition languishes in BKK!!! Help!

That NOA2 expiration date means nothing. My wife had her interview more than 6 months after NOA2.

well your case is an exception to the rule. Zin any case consuklar officers can stretch the four months. But how many will do that for you?

Thank you, I sure hope that is true. While I would want nothing more that to have the interview before October 7, 2012, I just don't want to run into some bureaucratic red tape because of the short time they gave me.

Look at my time line. You'll be fine.

As to the previous poster from Gambia, please link me to anyone here that has been denied because the interview was after the NOA2 expiration date. I see people get put in AP at NVC for MONTHS and they never have an issue.

Again Karee is correct. Just relax. They know they are the reason for the notice to be out of date. This happens all the time and is nothing new.

Thank you, your calming words are just what I needed. I think you have a sense of my relationship and how prepared we are to move on to the next step. Just want eveything to go smoothly. Thanks again for all your help!!!
