Anyone's crystal ball say when Covid 60 day extensions will be discontinued?

[bamboozled]

Don't hate me folks for another Covid extension question and another unanswerable query regarding the future. We all have our unique situations and must act accordingly. I am on a Covid extension at the moment (ends Jan. 26) because my wife was not well a month ago to get the O extension based on marraige and she is still not well and possibly won't be able to go to immigration (by Jan. 26). Another Covid extension would buy us more time for her to convalesce. Anyone know anything? I would think it would continue seeing how bad things are around the world, at least past my next due date (Jan. 26).

 

thank you

At the time January 29th is the last day you can apply for a another 60 day covid 19 extension.

You can apply for another one near to when your current one ends.

Oh well that's wonderful news. Thank you, Joe. And just to double check: the Covid extension is not limited to just 1? This will be my second. Is a week prior to the expiration of the current visa too early to go (with the new extension starting on the date the previous one expires)? That would give me some time to scramble if for some reason it was refused.

Thanks much as always.

There is no limit on how many extensions you can apply for.

It will depend upon the immigration office where you apply for the extension as to when the new extension will start. Some them on day you apply and other when you current one ends.

The good thing about this time is that you can apply until Jan 29th, giving you until March to see what happens.

 

This will be a less chaotic than when the amnesty was ending, as you will know the answer well before your visa expires.

 

This will allow everyone to properly plan their extensions if it is extended, or if it is indeed discontinued.

Wonderful news, thanks to both of you. My wife will also be relieved to kick the can down the road a bit more.

 

Cheers!
