@Ashton *******
as a rule people can go from a 30 day visa exempt entry, a 60 day tourist visa entry or an extension from one of those to an in country Non-B visa, IF they have xx days left on their current stamp.
BUT
because of the covid-19 shit storm where people couldn't get out, couldn't get new visas etc, they gave people amnesty on April 8th until the 31st of July and that amnesty has NO stamp and immigration offices aren't issuing in country Non-Immigrant type visas to people who have gone on amnesty.
