I'm curious about someone's post in this forum from months back, mentioning that some visas would be extended three years due to COVID-19 shaving off three years. Any updates on that, or was it much ado about nothing?
We discussed that topic about 5 months ago in this thread and/or the visa thread, and I'm too lazy to dig up the conversation(s), but IIRC the gist of it was that they were/are issuing new visas that effectively tacked on validity time due to Covid, but for many people, getting new 10-year visas made/makes more sense (i.e. if you're going to go to a consulate anyway, you might as well walk away with the best document possible, even if it entails forking over $185...raised from the previous $140 due to reciprocity).
