Hi: I'm in the same situation? Fiancee sent the info back to Guangzhou 2 weeks ago but the validation date on the I-797c is from July 6 2011 to Nov 06 2011. It is Oct 11th today and still no interview date. So I called Guangzhou which was a waste of time but then I called the national visa center and finally got a hold of some one which told me they can automatically extend the validation date for the petition? So then I emailed my attorney and he told me no way... they have to finish the interview within the validation date. So this is all so overwhelming because I want to go with her to the interview but with no idea of the date of interview make it impossible to get a plane ticket in advance. So if my Attorney is right then they should be scheduling it soon because the validation period is coming to an end in less then 30 days?
