Do I need my wife to accompany me for my visa extension pickup on the 27th if we've already applied together?

Visa Extension Marriage Visa Thai Immigration Chaengwattana Visa Application Process Non-O Visa

ORIGINAL POSTER

I applied for the visa extension based on marriage at the beginning of the month with my wife at Chaengwattana. Everything was accepted and I was told to come back on the 27th November (tomorrow). However, my wife has a work commitment she can't get out of. I know she has to be there when I apply for the extension and in the past she's come with me to pick up the visa, but will it be a problem if she's not with me tomorrow?  

Also the last day of my current visa is the 27th.

TLDR : Answer Summary

You do not need your wife to accompany you to pick up your visa extension if you have already applied and have an 'under consideration' stamp in your passport. You can go alone on the scheduled date to receive your stamp.

She does not have to go with you to get your stamp after the under consideration period, just return on the day it says to receive your stamp.

She does not have to be there if you applied for the yearly extension and have an under consideration stamp in your passport saying you report back on the 27th

Only you have to show up and get a queue number to go to Section L-2 where they have your paperwork already approved waiting for you to show up tomorrow

- I have a visa extension based on marriage for the last 13 years and usually go to immigration on my own to get the 12 months stamp in my passport. You should have no problems.

What do I need to bring for my 90-day non-O visa appointment in Chaeng Watthana, and does my wife need to accompany me?
