Does the Interview Opportunity Expire?

[cspence10 18]

Hello all, 

 

I am hoping not to get completely flamed, as I did in my last post about a year ago but here goes...

 

My (ex-ish) Fiance and I I applied for a K-1 Visa last March(ish) time frame. We got NOA2 May 29th 2019. During that time period my then fiance, now ex/complicated situation, had second thoughts because of religious differences. Since then we have been on and off, and have been on again for the better part of 2020. I never called to cancel the K1 visa, and she has scheduled the appointment to do the interview (Cuidad Juarez) on two different occasions. My question is, since it has been over a year since we got NOA2, does that expire? Is it still possible to try to schedule the interview? I am asking not even because we are talking about marriage again, but I just want to see if that option is even there. I know that if we were able to do the interview, the question would for sure arise as to why it took so long to do it, and I am sure that a lot of people are going to comment and completely destroy me for asking such a dumb question when clearly we have no business getting married (sorry I have some PTSD from this forum from previous posts), but I just want to know, in theory, could the interview still be done, or is this k-1 a lost cause?

 

 

For what its worth, I explained to her the potential gravity of scheduling, and cancelling the appointments, and not going for such a long time, when she was making these decisions, so I am fully aware.

 

Thank you in advance

"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."

 

So yes, your petition has expired by now.

We don't judge here on VJ........The petition probably expired.....but you can contact the consulate to make sure.
