Chang from O Retirement Ext to ED Visa

[Small Fry]

Have been on Retirement extension for 4 years. Using an accredited school with paperwork and following their guidelines, will I have any problems getting an ED Visa?

You will likely have to leave the country to get a single entry non-ed visa.

Immigration would not change the reason for your extension from retirement to one based upon attending a school.

No problem leaving the country. Was concerned with the Ret. Ext. History.

The will have no effect on getting a non-ed visa ant then extensions based upon attending a school.

To attend a school, does it require Ed visa. Can't one attend a school on retirement visa (O-A) or extension?
