What should my friend do if their visa status is 'under consideration' and they missed the deadline to return to immigration?

@Cory *******

and remember they have to go BACK to the immigration office where they got the under consideration stamp, they can't use a different one.

As far as what stamp they'll get, That is between them and the immigration office. They should have actually READ and followed the stamp in their passport that says "applicant must contact the immigration office on xxx date" :/ Whether amnesty was extended or not has NOTHING to do with you following the instructions stamped into your passport :(

Your friend should go back to the immigration where the "under consideration" stamp was received and close the loop.
