hello all,

I just wanted to pass out this information..

basically, my I129 approval is valid until 8/19/07 and our visa call is on 8/23/07.

I emailed mumbai embassy and asked them if the consulate can extend the validity of my approval OR if this will become any issue? I got a reply after 2 days saying that "This will not be an issue. Do not worry too much"

has anyone faced this situation or a different respone from any embassy in India?

It is my understanding that the consular officer at the embassy is authorized to extend the validity of the approved petition. They do understand that the timeline and process sometimes extends beyond the validity of the approved petition. I think you should be okay since you do have an email from the embassy, just make sure you carry it.

Also some of our more experienced advisors on this forum will also give you some good input. Good luck with the interview. Let us know how it goes.
