Non-Immigrant Visa "O" -- Accompanying spouse or family members

Can a partner get a non "o" if the spouse has a brand new work permit valid for 1 year but only has 2 months left on a non "b" that will need extending. Thank you for any advice.

Answer summary

The question addresses whether a partner can obtain a Non-Immigrant 'O' visa if their spouse has a current work permit but is nearing the expiration of their Non-Immigrant 'B' visa. Comments suggest that the partner may need to wait until the spouse's visa is extended before applying for the Non-O visa, and they are advised to consult their immigration office or their spouse's employer for guidance.

I think if you didn't get the Non-O visa from the same consulate at the same time as your partner did, you need to wait get the Non-O visa AFTER the spouse gets the year extension.

If you're trying to do it inside the country at the immigration office check with them, OR ask the company your spouse is working for for their recommendation of a consulate in a nearby country to use.

IF you are on a Non-B visa or a yearly extension you can apply for a new yearly extension when you have 30 days or less left on your current stamp.

Can you get the Non-B (with work permit) extended to 1 year at any time or does it have to be at expiry?

I want to ask a question also. Someone who has non o visa (spouse of individual that have non b visa) can use the non o visa to work as teacher or should change the visa non b (teaching)?
