Am correct in assuming I can not convert a Covid extension into a marriage visa?

Answer summary

The conversion from a COVID extension to a marriage visa is possible, but it requires getting a 90-day Non-O visa in the country first. The individual's current visa situation is key, particularly if there's a past Non-O visa or marital status involved. It's important to legally marry before attempting a transition to a marriage visa to avoid complications in the future.

Are you legally married? If so you can since you had a Non-O before (you needed that for your volunteer visa). But again you are re-entering the eternal bribery loop which is something that im personally trying to get away from.

If you are not legally married then you are way too early in the process. Get married first, even if you don't end up using it for the marriage extension because you choose another visa, it will be helpful in the future and you won't have to repeat this process ever again.

didn’t you just got rid of your volunteer visa by going to the US through all the hustle and came back in just to be on covid extension again? 🤯

I am glad some pays attention to me 🙂

My volunteer visa expired and I went to a covid visa, extended that twice then went to the US, returned on a normal tourist visa.

You'd need to apply for a 90 day Non-O in country first, and yes you can do it.
