Changing from Marriage Extension visa to Retirement Extension visa

[exfatriate]

Any advice, info? I've extended my non-imm O visa via marriage yearly for sixteen years, and my financial position now makes it easier for me (I think) to extend my visa on a retirement basis. I will still be married, same address, everything the same (haven't been out of the country for years), except for the change of reason for visa extension.

 

If you have any tips, I'll be grateful!

 

(I did a search on this site for this topic, couldn't find anything, but if it's been covered before a link will be appreciated. Thank you.)

Don't use the search on her, instead Google "aseannow change marriage to retirement".  You'll immediately find 5 or 6 threads on the subject.

Easy process to change from based on marriage to retirement. 

Which immigration office?

Many threads on this. Not a problem. 

Wife will need to attend for first extension based on retirement. 

For subsequent extensions not required

I changed from marriage to retirement some years ago at CW. Very straightforward, no hassle. Just be clear whether you are retaining 800k bath in the bank, or proposing an application based on monthly income.

Good point, however most unlikely he has not done 65k + monthly transfers for previous 12 months so he will need to use money in bank method..

On that first visit when you change extension reason, you need to bring your wife, she needs to sign an acknowledgement document. Subsequent extensions wife not needed anymore.
