nope, that is a requirement if you're applying for the initial 90 day non-O visa inside the country. The O/P entered on a Non-O visa they got from their country before they came here
He can apply for a new yearly extension at most offices when there is 30 days or less left on the entry stamp right down until the date it expires <_ but I would not recommend waiting until the last day in case you need another document or something as you'd run on overstay
