Unless otherwise specified, existing NIEs issued by a U.S. embassy or consulate will now be valid for 12 months from the date of approval and for multiple entries, as long as they are used for the same purpose for which the NIE was issued. The validity extension applies to those who have approved NIEs and those granted NIEs in connection with a visa application. Currently, U.S. Customs and Border Protection has not indicated whether it will follow suit and extend the validity of the NIEs is has approved.
