Our K-1 petition was approved, but it expires 12/28, and unfortunately the Embassy in Jamaica can't tell me when we will have our interview. I have been bugging them for since early October. They told me then that the dates for Nov were filled already, but that December dates would be given out at the end of October. Well, that hasn't happened yet---despite my desperate calls, and I don't know what to do...I guess I need to be prepared, so can someone please help? Do you have any other suggestions as to what I (or my fiance) can do? I know he plans to go to the Embassy personally to the Embassy this week, but I'm not sure what good that's going to do...maybe it will seem more urgent if he shows up....

Thanks

Do you mean that it was your I-129F that has been approved ?? You get the K-1 Visa after you are approved at the interview ...

Anyways I am not sure if you have to actually request an extension on the I-129F or if your consulate will just go ahead and do that ... I gather someone on this site will be able to tell you for sure ...

K-1 VISA
08-05-06 - Married in Sycamore IL

AOS / EAD
08-24-06 - AOS/EAD mail to Chicago (Day 1)
11-06-06 - GC & Welcome Letter arrive in Mail (Day 75)

I-751
09-23-08 - Sent Package via USPS (Day 1)
01-02-09 - Received GC in mail (with wrong Resident Since date) (Day 101)

Hello hope this helps, my email to the embassy was answered in this way. They stated that the expiration date does not matter if you have already turned in Ds230 they are just waiting on it to be approved to start booking Dec appts. No one has Dec interviews yet due to the Embassy will be moving on Dec 8th. They should only have a down time of about 3- 4 days.

I can't say for sure about Jamaica but last year when I did a K-1 in Russia they were all running after the expiration date and they just automatically exteneded them. They realize it is their fault not yours. Some of the guys just to be safe sent an e-mail to the embassy asking for an extension but the response they got back was that it was automatically extended. Hopefully you will get your date soon and it will not be a problem anyway.

12/14/2006 Applied for K-1 with request for Waver for Multiple filings within 2 years.
