Is It Possible To Get A Retirement Extension From A Non Immigrant B.

[cardew]

I know it is possible to get a retirement extension from a Non Immigrant O, I have one.

Is it possible to do the same with a Non Immigrant B?

Is the process broadly the same?

The FAQ just states Non Immigrant, but I've been told it's not possible to with a B, just an O.

Thank you.

The rule says:

(1) The alien has obtained a temporary visa (NON-IM)

So Yes any Non Imm Visa will do.

2.22 In the case of a retiree: Permission will be granted for a period of not more

than 1 year at a time.

(1) The alien has obtained a temporary visa (NON-IM);

(2) The applicant is 50 years of age or over;
