NOA2 valid for longer than 4 months?

[Stonka 0]

Hello,

I received an email from embassy that I can schedule my appointment. I checked the i-129f petition scan that they sent me, and it says it was approved on June 25th. I panicked, because I thought this meant it expires on October 25th, so just in a few days. But I checked my NOA2 and it says "valid from 06/25/21 to 11/16/21". Which is almost 5 months. Is this right? Does it mean I can schedule my appointment without extending the petition and I won't have any problems?

Dont worry when you go to the interview they will extend it.

Even if it expires before the interview? They won't make problems if I don't reach out beforehand?

 

Also, I see sites that say I will need to bring a new letter of intent to marry and a statement that me and my fiance remain legally free to marry. When he sent our i-129f we only had the letters that said "I, *name* do hereby state that I am legally able and willing to marry *fiance name*..." This is it right? There's no need for some other new document about being legally free to marry?

 

I'm sorry if I'm asking stupid questions or if they've been asked before but I'm getting lost in all these requirements and I just want to be sure.

The consulates can extend petition validity for 4-month periods, up to a year's worth.

However, it's always good to contact them to say that you want them to.

Write them with the immigrant's A# in the Subject line of the e-mail.

 

In regard to the new Letter of Intent, this is almost never needed.

However, (1) ask the consulate in your e-mail, and (2) prepare one anyway just in case, if you can.

Thank you, I already sent them an email with a question about this, hopefully they respond soon.

Update: I received a response saying that I will only need to bring a revalidation letter with me to the interview.

Now, can I wait with scheduling my appointment until after my medical appointment, or should I get an appointment now just in case, and if anything, reschedule later?

I will also try to contact nvc and ask if the expiration date is right.
