The above post has been split off from a different topic thread in the Philippines forum and moved here to the K-1 forum as the OP is asking about the K-1 process and is more appropriately addressed in this forum.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

Email the consulate stating your situation and ask the to extend your petition. it's common practice so they normally extend it for additional 4 months.

Same thing happened with us. I simply emailed Lagos and told them our petition was expiring before the interview date (keep it short and simple with your case number in the subject line). They told us it was okay and the interview took place. But don't take my word for it. Email them and see what they reply. You should hear from them within 2 days. Best wishes.

The expiration date on the NOA2 is meaningless for the K1 process. Relax and schedule when you can

You should print that out. If they emailed you another date, print that and take it with you.
