K1 'Priority Date' in the past?

[Howins 37]

Hi again everyone,

 

I have received my letter from the embassy confirming they have our case. However, it lists our priority date as 14 May 2019 -- the date of our NOA2.

 

I am very confused (and now panicked) because I thought the priority date was the date our visa would expire by if I hadn't entered the US -- but, obviously, 14 May is two months ago!

 

Could anyone clarify this for me?

 

Thank you.

Sorry -- my mistake. My understanding is the priority date is the date when I need to have had my interview by. On our NOA2, it seems correct. It states:

Valid from: 05/14/2019 - 09/13/2019.

 

Should the letter from the embassy not list the 13 September as our priority date?

 

Sometimes, I don't think I'm going to survive this process...!

The priority date is the date you became eligible to apply for a visa (because the petition was approved). Don't panic over having an interview by a certain deadline. If you don't interview in London by 9/13 you simply bring a new letter of intent from the American fiancé to the interview. No hassles at all.

Thank you so much -- you've put my mind at ease.
