I-797, NOA2

[BTMcDaniel1993 0]

Hi,

So we we're approved on the 15th and I received the hard copy of the NOA2 and I just wanted to confirm from people's past experiences that the Valid from/to box is the time frame the beneficiary has to initially enter the country? Also if that is the case is there any way to file for an extension or would it require restarting the entire process? I just want to make sure I have all the options on table to make the best moves possible I guess.

Thank you all for your time who read/respond!

The approved petition is valid for 4 months. You need to only have your visa interview by expiration . If you can't have it by then LONDON asks for you to bring a new letter of intent from the US person to the interview. Not a problem at all. People are going to reply that it gets extended automatically. Maybe true at some embassies, but London does tell you to bring a new letter to revalidate the petition. Follow what London says.

Your visa will be valid for 6 months from the date of your medical exam. You have to enter the US before the visa expires.
