I had my interview today.

At the end, the CO said you are approved, but you have to enter the US before 14/10/2015, the date my I129 expires.

Has any one experienced that.

I was not asked for a new letter of intent, as I thought I did not need one.

I won't possibly receive the visa till close to 14/10/15.

Due to work and personal commitment, I can't leave till early December.

Can I get the date extended, or should I wait till I get the actual Visa, and contact the embassy.

Did my medical in August.

Thing is, I was following there instructions, not to plan until you have visa in hand.

I entered December US entry date on readiness form and I told the gentleman who collected my documents, when he asked.

I do not understand that.

That's not even remotely true or right. Visa is good six months from the date of medical completion. Maybe the CO had a brain fart??

I am going to email the embassy, if they want letter of intent sent, I will send it to them. I find the whole thing strange strange as well.

Just need confirmation, from other members.Is the I129F petition expiry date valid only up to the issue of the K1 visa?

There was a member from Canada who had a similar problem, but at the airport. I don't want that to happen to me, as London is a long way from the US to be turned back, to reseal the packet, and re-issue a visa

Your NOA2 expiration (the I-129F application approval) shouldn't have anything to do with the expiration of your K1 visa...I would contact the embassy. Good luck!
