How Can I Ensure That My TM30 Submission is Accepted by Immigration Officers for My Non-O Extension?
The owner of my rented home submitted TM30 by internet when I moved in. A few weeks later I made application for a new extension of my non-O (retirement). The officer demanded a receipt (hardcopy) to prove that TM30 had been filed, but I had none. I was very nearly denied the extension as a result. After much discussion they accepted copies of the owner's house book, ID card and some business credentials.
I do not understand why, but it seems that the immigration officers are unable to access the database which I assume contains the record of the online filing - in fact, they seemed not to believe that such a thing exists. What can I do now to ensure that this does not happen again next time I must seek an extension of stay?

Answer summary
Experiencing difficulty with the TM30 submission process when applying for a non-O (retirement) extension can be frustrating. In this instance, the immigration officer requested a hardcopy receipt of the TM30 filing, which was not available. To avoid this issue in the future, it is advised to have your landlord provide a screenshot of the TM30 submission as proof, which you should keep with your passport for reference.

Make a copy of it and that's what you give them when they require proof you had a TM30 filed on you

it is your responsibility to have the land lord take a screen grab of the data they entered on the online TM30 program and keep it in your passport.
There is no print function on that online program and you have to do a print screen and then print the image
