Just talk to immigration. They actually know, and will help you if it is possible. They are not evil.

Helena Jin. Depends on which extension/visa you are seeking and which immigration office you use, as it varies. The best strategy is to visit the IO and request a list specific to your requirements prior to applying. That way you have a checklist of requirements.
