I don't care. I only care for my family, my dogs and my local community who we look out for. My point was that it seems many here leave things to the last minute including applying for extensions.

It looks like they are to end the CV extensions but don't want to make it a shock event come end of March. Many leave things until the last minute. My visa doesn't fit into any of the above so will find out when I apply if I'm approved until end of May. Fingers crossed.

I am sure it will only apply to visas like the Non O which is extendable inside the country and not those that can't like the PE visa. The point of continuing these Covid extension wasn't just due to an unable to fly but for those that have visas that are not transferrable inside the country which require you to leave and come back.
