Re-issuance of Our K1/K2 Visas/Our Petition on Hold

[bob+senga 11]

Our K1 and K2 visas expired middle of June as my ex will not allow the children to immigrate now- so its going to court.I did send documents back to American Embassy in London with letter explaining the situation that i will be in court middle of August. So they replied telling me they've kept our Petition open till August but i need to redo medicals, fees and the DS160 and new interview and email them when I'm ready to travel. My court date has now came back for October much later than expected. So my question is if i do the medicals fees etc in August will i have 6 months on new visa( from the new medical date) or just a month as itll have been 90 days from the original expiry date on Visa. OR do i re-write to them telling my court date is now October( my lawyer will also contact the embassy explaining the court systems delay and asking for it to be left open till October)because by then i will know for definite if we can travel. Either way i will get to America and get married it might just be longer.we will be a happy family just rather it was sooner than later

Don't do a medical until you know it's a go with the kids. If delayed again, you would end up paying for a third exam. A woman named Meg who used to post here in the UK forum had crazy delays even after getting a court date. User name is DarkMoonFaerie or something like that.

thanks for that , I have actually been messaging Meg via Skype ( after your lead so thank you) she advised me that the consulate will probably keep my petition open its hard to cancel k1 visa .so wait till i know for sure then do the medicals etc as you also advised.

I will inform the embassy of our delay yet again and ask for the petition to be kept open till October- just need to find the emails i used last time as its not easy getting in touch with them and even though they told me to email them when im free to travel they never gave em an email address. lol

thanks again for your advice much appreciated
