Hello everyone! We just received an email from the US Consulate in Abu Dhabi that they have received my fiancé's case file. This includes instructions and what requirements to bring. However, we are wondering if there is a deadline for setting up an appointment for the interview. We are still in the middle of gathering some requirements and we would like to gather them all before getting a schedule for an interview. Thank you in advance for helping us figure it out.

Petition expires 4 months after approval. But if you have difficulty scheduling interviews and medical a note to the embassy would help. Once you have case number from the nvc you can schedule the medical and interview. Get cracking

Keep in mind that an approved I-129f expires after 4 months.  The Consulate can (and usually does) extend the expiration date in 4 month increments up to a year.  It is totally at their discretion.  I would contact the consulate and request the extension just to make sure.
