ORIGINAL POSTER

Are exit (especially) and re-rentry dates given when applying for re-entry permits on O visa strict?

That is, if something went wrong with travel plans, would you be expected to apply for new permit? 

Doubt so, but just double-checking...

TLDR : Answer Summary

The dates provided for exit and re-entry on the application for re-entry permits on an O visa are not strictly enforced. If your travel plans change, you do not need to apply for a new permit based on the dates you initially provided, as they are not set in stone and are not essential for the permit's validity.

No those dates aren’t set in stone. If you say on the form you’re leaving on abc date but actually leave on xyz date it’s not an issue. Exit or re entry dates you put on the form serve no purpose really. Why you’re required to write them is anyone’s guess.
