NOA 1 date validity

[roniitaaa 0]

Hi!

 

kindly help me cause my boyfriend already received the first NOA and it states the validity is for 4 months. I don’t know if that means we only have 4 months to gather other necessary documents and schedule for medical and interview?

 

Thank you!

Thank you payxibka! Can I just ask a lil bit further… do you mean they’ll change the dates on it and extend it longer?

I think that you are referring to your I-129F visa petition from the petitioner has been approved (NOA2)? 

 

As other folks have posted, the Consular Officer (CO) can extend the expiration date:

My Petition Expired – Can It Be Extended?

 

The I-129F petition is valid for four months from the date of approval by USCIS. A consular officer can extend the validity of the petition if it expires before visa processing is completed.
