TLDR : Answer Summary
The post details the experience of applying for an extension of a NON-O visa based on marriage to a Thai citizen. The application was submitted on March 19, 2024, and after a second stamp was issued on April 10, 2024, the process took about 30 minutes without checking the 90 days report or bank book. However, there was a significant wait for the 90 days report with more than 300 people in line.

Thank you for your report. Glad you got your 1-year extension before the long holidays even if it took long.

I got it almost at the same date as if I applied 45 days before. So the 2 weeks is enough to process application. To my surprise IMM not asked to update bank book at all.
