I renew my Non-O visa every year in July. So my next renewal is July 2026. I would prefer to have renewal in December - January each year, is it possible to change?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The poster inquires about changing the renewal date of their Non-O visa from July to December-January. Responses indicate that the only way to change the renewal date is if their passport expires in that timeframe and they apply for an extension based on that expiration. Other suggestions were made, but they were not serious or practical.

The only way to change is if your passport will expire in December or January, and you apply for an extension the year your passport expires. Instead of receiving 1 year, you would only receive up until your passport expiration date.
