Hi everyone. I am a K1 fiancé USC going through Lagos Nigeria. Hope everyone has been having a pleasant, blessed, and successful journey through your processes. I haven't been on here in awhile.... because I was busy working and then I was busy trying to handle everything in my life that was falling apart and trying to be strong. Besides vehicles falling apart and relatives that don't repay loans and illness ..... in addition to all that and some other things..... I lost my job. Yep. My son is my cosponsor and besides the fact that he travels from project to project across the US, he and his crew sometimes have 3 or 4 weeks in between projects when they draw unemployment and then get sent out to more projects... but in spite of that he is paid well and his annual income meets and exceeds the requirements for sponsorship. And he has worked there for a few years.

I have 2 basic questions, and to simplify things I just want to remove from the equation that I have a cosponsor and that I'm currently out of work. Here's what I need to know. We got the email from Lagos that said something like, hey we got your paperwork, please tell your fiancé to pay the 240.00 at the bank and go online to make your interview appointment. Do we have a time limit from the date we got that email til we pay and make an appointment?

Secondly, do we have ANY time limits, restrictions, expiration dates, etc. to worry about... for example, the date on our NOA2? (remember - K1 fiancé)

Thanks all. So many of you are very knowledgeable and so giving and sharing with your experiences and knowledge. For those of you who pray, please please pray I find a good job soon and that this will all end up being just a teeny weeny tiny bump in the road and not a big deal. We are so close to being together now. I know I need to keep my eyes on the prize and not the circumstances. My God is a BIG God. Thanks everyone.

Cheer up my friend. Sorry that you are going through so much in this most needed time. You could email the embassy and ask that question they will respond. I don't believe that you would have to pay right away. Someone I hope will soon have the answer to your question. Be blessed and be strong

in the NOA-2 letter,

there should be a duration of validity.

he needs to pay and schedule by the expiration date on the duration of validity.

If he does that, then usually the IV unit will extend the duration of validity a couple of weeks past the interview date.

Usually.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

This isn't a embassy/country specific issue. It is the validity date (across the board for I-129F) as Darnell stated, you would need to email Lagos and ask them they will let you know how far out you can push the date. i would do that immediately.

Small window for a I-129F so you need to act fast.

there is expiration date if you check your NOA2, it tells about the validity date which you have to process ur visa. As others had said, you can contact the embassy for an extension. You can pay ur visa fee within the range of date given on your NOA2, but paying ur visa fee does not have to be immediately.
