2.LC expired on 03.03.2015 and now wants to extend to 02.12.2015.LC issued on 30.06.2014 & issue date should be same in case of new advise in new country.

Hi,
First of all, i work as an officer at an issuing bank. İ think you should send out a new MT700 with the correct datas. Country change is a big problem for liability and responsibilities and many banks prefer not to advise the l/c to a bank located in another country. İn addition, there is a big gap between the expiry date and the amendment date. There could be an issue as well.
Hope this is helpful for you.
Regards,
