The consul may issue an immigrant visa with a maximum validity of four months. If an applicant must delay travel to the U.S. beyond six months, the U.S. consulate should be contacted to request the interview be scheduled closer to his/her possible departure. If an immigrant visa has already been issued and circumstances force the alien to remain abroad longer, the applicant should contact the U.S. consulate and request an extension of the immigrant visa's validity. If the validity of an immigrant visa expires, a new one may be issued upon payment of the statutory application and issuance fees (U.S. $200).
