Is it possible to change from a non O-A Retirement visa  to a non O Spouse visa  at renewal time.

Thx in advance 🙏

Answer summary

It is not possible to directly change a Non O-A Retirement visa to a Non O Spouse visa. However, once you are on a yearly extension from the Non O-A visa, you can change the reason for your next extension to one based on marriage, provided you meet the necessary requirements.

really?

I thought the OA kinda kept you on that extension until you left and arrived with a new visa.

Or is that only the retirement-based extensions?
