NOA2 EXPIRY

[Augustjourney2024 3]

Hi everyone! just wondering on NOA2 (I-797) there is a validity on the form. What does it mean ?
If you happen to go past to the validity what should you do?
We're on a K-1 (fiance visa) application and still waiting up to this day our NVC number. 
Thank you ♥

Don't pay too much mind to it.

The validity can be extended (and usually is) by the consular officer at the time of the interview if your interview is past the date.

 

If your case has been sent to NVC, you should be able to submit an inquiry to them about your case number. Between 30-60 days after it has been sent to them.

Expiration of the validity date will not affect your getting an interview... If you go to the interview and it is expired, as long as the consular officer doing the interview approves the visa, they will automatically extend the validity date of the NOA2. I would suggest that if it is expired, you bring updated letters of intent to marry to the interview as per the FAM the CO can request updated LOIs if the NOA2 is expired

Thank you!, also how long did it took you to receive the NVC letter ? Is it the beneficiary who will receive that or it would be the both of us ?
We're still waiting for it, USCIS site updates that it was March 7 of this year that they sent our case to the NVC and its about 6weeks have passed 
we havent receive any NVC letter yet.

Our case was sent to state (you see this tracking the first case number) february 20th, and we got our case number a week and a half into march. So I would send a public inquiry to get your new case number that you use to track your case moving forward. 😃 We sent one a week, making sure we got a reply before we sent the next one, until we got it.

 

Not that it is that important, the status does not change until they are ready to send it to your embassy and they only do that every other week.

We got our case number through public inquiry.

We waited a month from the day USCIS sent our case to the NVC.

 

My husband (the beneficiary) received the physical letter from the NVC almost a month after we knew our case was already at the embassy.

 

You would be better off submitting a public inquiry, the letter is notoriously slow.
