Thank you for your wishes! My fiancé went to the interview today and puzzlingly, the interviewer did not even ask for the i-797 form and nothing was even done regarding this. My fiancé's medical exam at TELUS was not actually submitted to the consulate despite them saying that it would be there (seems like an unfortunate mixup on their end at our expense) so she received a rejection letter, but all the documents were in order. I'm unsure if the notice will just reflect that it's been extended on the internal systems they use after the visa is finally approved, but that's the only assumption I can make at this time. I wish you the best and I hope all goes well!

So even though the paper has the date of 8/26, electronically, in their system, it will still be valid? I should have no issues? In short, no further action from me is required? I tried contacting them via e-mail but didn't get any response from anyone and trying to call them tells me that they don't help w/ visa queries over the phone.

Hi everyone! I've been peeking around the forums and I've just been concerned and confused. I'm told by my lawyer that the i797 notice of action's period of validity is typically extended by the relevant consulate/embassy. My fiancé finally got her appointment with the Montreal U.S. Consulate for 9/5/24 but the i-797 notice of action expires on 8/26/24. I tried 3 different e-mails and calling the Montreal consulate for more information regarding my concerns but I was either told that it wasn't the right place to ask that question or have been met with no response. Since the date is drawing near, and I'm really concerned about getting peace of mind on this, I pose the question. Do I need to get this extended before we get to the appointment and the period of validity expires? Or is this something they will do at the interview when my fiancé is seen? For anyone with experience with Montreal's Consulate, please let me know. Thank you.
