K1 Petition Only Valid For Four Months?

[Dave Moseley 0]

So I've finally received my Packet 3 from the London Embassy... one line on the letter caught my eye:

"The K1/3 petition is valid for four months from the date of action (priority date at the bottom of the letter) and must be valid to process your case to conclusion. To revalidate the petition, please request your fiance(e) to make a notarized statement of intent to marry within ninety days of your arrival in the US and present it on the day of your interview.

.....

Your priority date: 10 JUL 2013"

My issue is that I'm about to go to America for about 70 days as a tourist and by the time I return, this four month period of validity will be closed. What am I supposed to do here? Do I get a letter from my fiancee while I'm over there and bring it back with me in December to my interview (when it gets scheduled)? Do I need to do anything, besides sending in the forms requested, before the 10th November rolls around and the window closes? :\

You'll need to get a new Letter of Intent while you're over there, signed by your other half and get it notarized. Thankfully it's not difficult to find a Notary Public in the States, so google in the local area for where you'll be. A lot of the courier companies (like FedEx, UPS etc.) seem to have them in their stores from what I'm told.

Dave you can always contact your embassy and ask them to extend the petition approval as well. Most of them will.

I would order your police certificate before leaving. You will need it when you go to the medical and the interview.

I would also submit the forms well before Nov 10....now or by end of Sept, so they are aware you haven't abandoned ship. A cover letter could explain you will be out of the country until [date] and will complete the visa process after your return. Tell them you will have a notarized letter of intent from your fiancé, as instructed in their letter to you.
