Since those of us with already approved petitions have been thru the ringer once, and now are just getting back on track, what have you done about the Approval Expiration? My approval is about to expire in 2 weeks, and I wasn't sure if I should write to them for an extension, or will they automatically extend the approval?

I too asked myself the same question. It wouldn't make too much sense if they cancelled the already approved petitions that are being reprocessed.

I saw this question on another thread. GaryC said he'd ask for an extension to be on the safe side. But, dude, I'd so call someone and find out... This would save us some work if we didn't have to actually ask for it.

I remember that my fiance called them to ask about some other thing, and the lady said that we would only have to comply with the RFE and that would be it. But he didn't ask about the NOA2 expiration date itself.

I only offer advice - not even legal. Just the plain and simple kind.

I just got off the phone with Vermont. I told her that our petition was affected by IMBRA and now our Approval Expiration was approaching. I asked what I needed to do in order to get the approval extension. She told me that When they Reaffirm their approval they will also take your expiration into considerationand extend it.

She then asked me for my Receipt number and name for some reason. I have never had theat happen before.

They ahev always asked me for receipt number and name.

And sometimes they even said "I see you have called 4 times already..."

Oh, well. I'm glad that at least we don't have to do anything to have it extended...
