Expiring NOA2

[Caladan 19]

My NOA2 expires Monday. His interview is Wednesday.

I've sent a two e-mails (Jan. 16 & Feb. 6) to Vancouver and I have not heard back from them.

Anyone know how to get a live person on the phone at the Consulate? I called once and was in Incredibly Slowly Read Option Menu Hell, and they directed me to e-mail, but it's been three weeks.

I'm sure they've probably automatically extended the NOA2, but I need to confirm that.

Any help? Thanks!

Don't worry about it, they automatically extend it. Even if they don't respond to your emails, they read them and put them in your file (I saw some of mine in a file when I had my interview), so they'll have a record that you asked them to do so.

Unless it's changed since I went through there, the phone number is (604)685-4311 x235 and you can call between 2-4pm Vancouver time.

Awesome, thank you. Will try that as soon as my roommate gets off the phone.

Mercy is right, that is the number. You might have to let it ring for a long time. I once had to let it ring for over 20 times. I called back, spoke to the operator and she said there is no voice mail, just let it ring until someone picks up.

Got through on ext. 235. They answered on the first or second ring, and were very friendly, and put me through to ext. 234, where I left a message. About an hour later, I received an e-mail that said that the consular officer will extend the I-129F at the interview. So we're good.

Thanks for the info!
