K1 change of passport

[Daniela M_______ 410]

Hey guys, it's me again, everyday I have a new doubt regarding this process...

 

We are filling the I129F on January 1st week.

I'm venezuelan living in Mexico and my venezuelan passport (the only one I had) expires in March 19, 2019, so my passport will be valid for travel until October 18, 2018.

 

K1 visa process takes up to 6-7-8-..... months.

 

What if I can't have my interview before October 2018?

Here's the issue: It's almost impossible to renew a passport for venezuelan citizens, BUT after living in Mexico for 2 years (that would be same October 2018) I can ask for the mexican citizenship and get a passport from Mexico. And it would take a few months (maybe just 1 is not a huge process).

 

Could I change my passport information before the interview? For how long the USCIS approval of case is valid to schedule the interview date?

 

I know I'm really ahead of this step but I need peace of mind and a plan ready to execute in case my application takes longer than expected.

 

Thanks!

I assume this means you are the beneficiary.  Your visa application is not submitted until the I-129f is submitted by the petitioner and approved by USCIS.  Your case will then be forwarded to the appropriate embassy at which time if your current visa does not have at least 6 months time left before expiration (add in a couple more months for NVC and Embassy processing time for good measure) you can obtain/renew your passport at that time prior to completing your visa application DS160.  Changing passports after DS160 completion may prove to bit more difficult, but probably could be done I guess.

 

NOA2 usually comes with a four month expiration date.

Let me see If I got it right...

 

We can submit the i129F with my current password number from Venezuela. And then from NOA 2 and before the Ds160 I can get the renewal or the new mexican passport to bring it to the interview right?

 

The NOA2 4 months expiration date is a relief. I guess I can have a plan b after all...

 

Thanks!
