NOA2 Extension + Medical Exam question.

[Emmaj 0]

Hello all,

My partner and I received our NOA2 a little while back with a validity date ending on Feb 26. Can we extend this? My second question is, if this cannot be extended, what happens if my interview is scheduled outside this date? And can I do my medical after my K1 interview?

Thankyou.

Medical and interview is up to your embassy.. Different country allows different stuff.

Noa2 validity date will be extended automatically if you are still persueing your petition. You can email your embassy for extension just to be sure.

I am not sure about the medical after the interview for Sydney Embassy.

Email the consulate and tell them that you will need an extension. They will most likely respond within 2-3 business days asking for a letter from the petitioner to request an extension. There are other things that they ask for in the letter so make sure that you pay close attention to the details. At the end of the email it says that they will contact you if the extension is not approved. That's why I am uncertain whether or not they automatically extend the petition at the interview. It would probably be best to go through this process to make sure that the validity period gets extended but that is your choice to make =]

*** Thread moved from K-1 Process forum to the Embassy/Consulate forum -- topic involves that phase. ***

I had the same question about extending our valid dates and I emailed the embassy. Here is the response we received:

"To revalidate your petition, please have your U.S. citizen fiancé provide you a letter, requesting that your petition be extended to a further 4 months from the approval date of the I-129F petition. This letter must be dated and signed by your fiancé.

The letter from your U.S. citizen fiancé(e) should state their intention to still marry you within 90 days of your arrival into the U.S. with the K-1 visa and that you both are still free to marry.

Please scan and email a copy of this letter to SydneyIV@state.gov

If your request for revalidation is approved your application will automatically be extended & you will not be notified, however, if it is denied, only then will we contact you within 5 business days to you to advise you further."

There is no such thing as a RIGHT to an extension so they have to tell you what will happen if iis denied. But this looks liike a no brainer for an approved extension. Follow their insturctions and then don't worry about it.
