NOA2 says it expires?

[BowieChick 0]

We're getting pretty worried now. Our NoA2 says that the approval notice is only valid until 7-30-2009 which is TOMORROW.

He sent in all the forms he had to do for packet 3 about a month-month in a half ago and the checklist a couple weeks ago. I originally thought I read that they automatically extend that date when they get those forms but how do I know if they did that?

He tried calling the embassy and couldn't get a REAL PERSON, only machines. He also tried emailing but the email no longer works.

How do we know what's going on? Does anyone know who to call??

Trust them, they do -- once they receive his visa application before the expiration date, everything is OK, no more deadline to worry about.

I found this on a forum about the Manila embassy:

"4.1 NOA2 EXPIRATION DATE - Don't be alarmed if the visa interview is scheduled after the NOA2 expiration date because the Consular Officer (CO) at the Manila Embassy will automatically revalidate the petition by extend the expiration date in four months increments until all actions are finalized . No actions by the USC and/or beneficiary are required."

You might find some embassy-specific help in this thread: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=177012

OR, you might call the DOS. I have a note in my notepad saying, "DOS is who you can call to see if your interview date has been assigned. 202 663 1225" I'm guessing they might know what to do with your expiration date.
