Morning guys!!

anyway we all know what’s goin on with thre world right now😫. My wife and I did a spousal visa which she got it but expires in july2020 Manila embassy had it for a month because they need the new NBI which she had but they wanted the updated one.  Which she got her visa in March. 
 

my point is my wife doesnt want to come to the USA because of this covid and I don’t blame her, we have a 2 year old daughter. I don’t wanna bring my family here especially America is the epidemic center!!  So my whole thing is if she does not come here before it expires. How do I go upon this? We need her visa extended. Who do I reach out to?🤷🏻‍♂️ Who to talk to? (Manila embassy)
 

We finally got the visa and finally to be together as a family.

Visas cannot be extended.  The law allows consulates (at their discretion) to re-issue expired visas if the holder was unable to travel before expiration.  This will require a new medical exam, fees, and possibly other documents.  Contact the consulate for information.
