Yes. It is entirely possible. We were notified of our Interview about 2.5 months before the actual date... long wait..but worth it to be with one you love and gives you plenty of time to gather everything and quadruple check it.. lol

~ Jan ??,2013 ~ Service Center ~ Vermont I-129F Packet sent

NOTE: Actual sent date unknown due to lawyer negligence - I delivered ALLForms and PAID Lawyer on Nov 7, 2012 - Lawyer kept saying he sent the packet and USCIS must have lost it. When in reality he failed to send the package and only a new copy to USCIS after I made a legal written demand giving him 10 days to perform or return ALL monies paid to him, due to "non-performance".

(IMO it's better to save your money for visits to or from your Fiancé and just fill it out yourself using the K-1 Guide on VJ and Senior Members... They Rock!!!)

Yes that's how it is for DR... I found out about my date on 10/12/2013... the interview is for 01/14/2013!!! so yes they give you about 3 months from when it is scheduled until the interview. DOS shouldn't give you the wrong info and they won't get mad because you call. I called everyday sometimes 2 times a day!

Go on the website and search the PDF file with your case number. I do not think they will lie about your interview date.

I wonder how often they update the list. I received my interview date on October 2nd by email and it's still not on there....its November 20th. Maybe they do it every month and I will see it early November.
