Delaying Visa Process at the Embassy stage?

[Andreea&Kevin 38]

Last week my fiancée was involved in a serious car accident. She will be ok, but full recovery may take months. I know we have 4 months from NOA2 to do the interview, but not sure if that will be enough. How long can the embassy extend this? Will I just need to call the embassy and explain the situation? We have only received Packet 3, but not submitted it.

Sorry to hear that. Hope she will be better very soon.

If i remember correctly, the extension would be for another 4 months. Maybe someone more experienced can confirm this.

In the example letter you directed me to, it said "another 4 months"

This is all I could find. Suggest you call or email the embassy to find out how to request an extention.

My Petition Expired – Can It Be Extended?

The I-129F petition is valid for four months from the date of approval by USCIS. A Consular Officer can extend the validity of the petition if it expires before visa processing is completed.

I finally found the post I was looking for:
