ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi all, just a quick question related to the apparent expiration of the Covid extension. Last week I got my last extension and right now I'm under consideration, so I should go back to immigration office on August 31th. BUT, if this program is already expired, it will be okay to get the remaining 45 days? I just would like to make sure/be ready in case that they don't accept it, and tell me that I have to leave the country. Thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The Covid extension program has expired, but since you already applied for an extension before the expiration date and received an 'under consideration' stamp, you can still proceed with your immigration appointment. Bring your passport on the specified return date to finalize your Covid extension.

There are two separate things in play.

You are correct the program expired yesterday so if you didn't APPLY for an extension by then you can't.

You on the other hand already applied for a 60 day covid extension and got an under consideration stamp BEFORE the program stopped <-meaning you still have a pending visa extension.

Just show up with your passport on the date it says to return on the under consideration stamp and you will get the covid extension inked in.
