Hi All,

 

I would like to ask: I received my NOA2 on April 29, 2025, and the case has still not been sent to the DOS yet, which is now 82 days. I have been searching for a lot of information but still haven't gotten an exact answer. My NOA2 expires on August 28, 2025. My question is whether the NOA2 will be automatically extended? Since the delay in sending to the DOS was not due to our mistake but rather due to USCIS processing being slow since May 2025.

 

Also, some information indicates I should contact my embassy in Indonesia. I have tried but have not been successful. Does anyone have the exact number or email that I should contact?

 

Thank you.

The consulates have the power to, and usually do, extend petition validity in 4-month increments for up to a year.

This should not be your problem, and it almost certainly won't be.

This information is accurate.  Put your beneficiary's "A" number in the Subject line of the e-mail that you should write to let the consulate know about the tardy status of your petition.

Then it's time to involve your Congressman or U.S. Senator's office.  Try your Congressman first.  Go to his/her official website and find the "release form" that permits them to inquire/intervene on your behalf.  If you have trouble finding it or completing it, call the Congressman's office (probably in Washington, DC) and ask for the Immigration Liaison.  Let us know what happens -- we care.
