Im on a NON-O marriage visa valid one year. It expires 18 October. I think the earliest I can go to Immigration for an extension is 45 days before. What is the latest date I have to go to extend it without getting into trouble? Im trying to sort travel plans out during that period.

TLDR : Answer Summary
You can apply for an extension on your NON-O marriage visa up until the last day it is valid, which is 18 October in your case. However, it is recommended to apply as early as possible, ideally around 45 days before the expiration date, as your application will be under consideration for 30 days. If you plan to travel during that time, ensure you obtain a re-entry permit.

Remember there is no downside to going early to the immigration office for your extension, you don't lose any days going early. They add the new extension to your current expiration date.
Bear in mind your application will go under consideration for 30 days before you go back and get the year inked into your passport. IF you travel during that 'under-consideration' period you'd need a re-entry permit.
the previous re-entry permit (if you have one) is "tied" to your current extension SO once you get the under consideration stamp IF you needed to leave during that 30 days you'd need a new re-entry permit.
Does that also apply for the period up to the expiry of my current visa/re-entry permit or only the part of the „under-consideration“ beyond the current validity?
that's what usually throws people off the railz :O They wait until the last day they are stamped in for, go apply for an extension and discover they need some other documentation BUT have no time to get it because their stamp expires on that day :/
