Hi everyone in South Africa!  My fiancé and I are almost done in our process, she lives in South Africa and I live in the Seattle Washington area.  It took us 5 months to get our NOA2, so be prepared

Big Congratulations @Vintage girl 16th, 28th and 30th of August is available right now on the US Consulate website as i type this. I’m sure you’ll get one of those @LuFlolady Priority date is valid totally for 12 months. Initially valid for 4 months when Noa2 is issued. Another 4 months can be extended by the embassy twice to make it total of 12 months if applicant is not ready or something comes up. Search on this forum to understand how it works...

Thanks @kemm360 for the clarity. We're expecting our NOA2 in August which would make four months land during festive. From what I've heard, the Joberg Consulate doesn't offer many interviews in late December so I was nervous. 

 

Congrats @Vintage girl on getting through NVC!!! Your almost there!!

Thank you for the info. I do not do my application myself the INS lawyers do it for us. I believe that what ever available interview date there is will be perfect timing. Looking forward to the last few steps. Can't wait to join the love of my life.
