I-797 NOA2 Expires April 5, 2022

[Chad9797 7]

I received this message on Feb 8th. My question is if my I-797 NOA2 expires after the 4 months  on April 5, 2022.. do I need to extend this somehow ? or will it automatically be extended?

 

It appears that the NVC will not be forwarding it to the embassy anytime soon. .. Any recomendations on what to do?

 

Probably the best thing is to do is just make sure I have all the required documents and wait patiently like everyone else.

 

The problem with that is if we get some of the documents too early they will not be good such as the police clearances or divorce papers.. I believe those have to be within 6 months..I will need to double check the dates on those.

 

Dear Sir/Madam:

 

 

Due to COVID-19 concerns, the U.S. Embassy or Consulate General in MNL suspended routine visa services. The National Visa Center will not forward K1/I-730 visa petitions to MNL until they resume routine visa services. The U.S. Embassy or Consulate General will resume visa services as soon as possible, but they cannot provide a specific date.

 

For the most up-to-date information about the U.S. Embassy or Consulate General's operating status, please visit their website at https://usembassy.gov.

Embassy will extend the validity.   Vast majority of K-1 are sitting at NVC long past the "4 months" and they are slowly being processed at the embassy

 

This being a recent one:
