I changed a 30 day entry to a Non O based on retirement on September 27. Like others there, I was given a blue slip and told to come back October 12 for the actual stamp (or as the paper states, "result." I was told I could then extend to 1 year from 3 months 45 days from the September 27 application. If I were to get a multiple re-entry permit when I get the 3 month Non O, would that still be valid once they give me an extension, or do I need to get another one (I plan to go out once before applying for the extension, but then several times after the extension)
