12 month extensions on non-immigrant visas require a 30 day "under consideration" period (at least I assume that's all non-im. visas. Certainly I know B and O by marriage do). So you have to return to the office where you made the application 30 days later to get your 12 months stamped in your passport.
My question is what do they do/check when you go back? Is it just to verify that you're still in the country? Or are there further documents and checks to make? For instance do they re-check you financials or work permit status? If you no longer have enough money in the bank for your retirement visa but did when you actually applied will you have a problem? If you lose your work permit after you submit your application will you be declined? Will a change in your status AFTER you successfully apply for your extension change your status if it comes before your "under consideration" period is complete?

30 day "under consideration" period. What's that mean?

Also, do you have to go back to the same office?
