ORIGINAL POSTER

Is it possible to change a non-o ME based on spouse to a non-b in country? I have had a WP through a school for a few years but have just kept the non-o. 

But now with things the way they are and since I cannot fulfill the finances for the 1 year non-o extension by the time my current 60 day extension (actual visa is now expired and I just got a 60 day extension based on Thai family) is up I need to start thinking of other options just incase and the school is willing to help me out with a non-b if needed. 

I have til mid-June and hoping this thing gets figured out by then but who knows what it’ll be like. Just starting to weigh my options out. I had a flight booked to Vietnam last week to get a new visa but the day before my flight left it got cancelled and VN shut the doors. Very unfortunate timing. USA passport. CR immigration if that matters. I think I know the answer but wanted to check. (The answer is probably no)

You can not change, but you can apply for the extension of stay based on being married and use the job as financial requirement. it takes some documents from your employer so best is visit your immigration office, tell them the plan and get a list with the requirements to prepare
