Non Immigrant O Extension Based on Marriage

[Charlie]

Have to keep up so much nowdays. Marriage used to be 3 months.

The marriage reason now seems to have changed but the retirement hasn't.

If you look at the MFA website it says that money must be in for 3 months. 2 months for the first extension.

Looks like a case of different offices using different time scales.

I thought you were right Really - really!

I believed it was 2 months for the first application then 3 months.

However, I have re-checked the mfa website and it states 2 months.

The 2 months then 3 months rule applies to RETIREMENT extensions (although if using a mix of income and capital no seasoning is required - i think!)

Yes, CC, you are right. If using the combination method (which you can only do with a retirement extension) then no seasoning is required
