Can I apply for a Non-B visa if I have an 'under consideration' stamp?

The inquiry pertains to whether an application for a Non-B visa can be submitted with an 'under consideration' stamp, which likely relates to an extension based on employment or due to COVID-19 travel restrictions. Responses indicate that one cannot apply while the stamp is under consideration; it is necessary to resolve the current status and secure the final extension before proceeding with the Non-B visa application.
