So my Fiance lives in Japan on a student visa. Her student visa is set to expire on July 19th this year. I have a NOA2 date of May 5th, and continue to call NVC every day but they still don't have case number. I am worried because it is cutting it close because I read that the US embassy in Japan has earliest possible interview dates at 1 month out.

For her to renew the student visa she has to give her college her passport and they take 1 month (and apparently hold it for that month) while they renew the Visa which also isn't cheap either (like $100-$200).... The money not being the biggest issue but holding the passport is because she needs for things like medical exam. I did read somewhere that even if your Visa expire while in Japan the Japanese government doesn't really take any action until maybe 1-3 months after expiry but its better to be safe than sorry, and I don't know if it will cause problems at the interview if her visa is expired (the expiry date also shows on her residence card)

Anyone have any advice in this situation?

Thank You
