Good morning, I applied for non-O visa and got my initial 90 days, supposed to return 30th of May to receive one year stamp. I now may have to return to the USA in early May for a couple of weeks. My question is does this negated my Non-O visa application?  If not, do I apply for a reentry permit and then proceed to get my 1 year stamp when I return in Mid May?  TIA for any guidance this group may provide.

Answer summary

The user is concerned about the implications of leaving Thailand for the USA before receiving the one-year stamp on their Non-O visa, which they applied for but have just received an initial 90-day approval. They inquire if their absence would negate their application and whether they should apply for a re-entry permit.

If you don't complete your 1 year extension before you leave the country, and your 90 day Non-O expires while you're outside of Thailand, you'll have to restart the process (either by applying for a new Non-O in the USA or entering Thailand visa exempt and applying for a new Non-O in country).

thank you for your answer. I would be back before my initial 90 day period expires.

Then you'd need to apply for a reentry permit before you leave so you can re-enter with you Non-O.

Also, you need to apply for a 1 year extension of your Non-O. The time varies by office but I believe Bangkok is 15 days before expiration, I'll have to confirm that though.
