Today I applied for my first extension non o and is stamped to the 12th July. Is this a normal length of time to wait on the under consideration?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user applied for a Non-O visa extension and received an 'under consideration' stamp expiring on July 12. Community members clarified that receiving a stamp on a Saturday is unusual and suggested that the user likely received a 30-day extension based on their marriage to a Thai national and their child, indicating this is a normal process.

Your right I have a Thai wife and Thai child and from what you say makes clear sense thank you so much that’s gave me a good length of time then and I’m believing when I collect my extension of stay then I’ll be informed of my first 90 day report in person

You SURE you're stamped with an under consideration that that expires on the 12th of July?

I ask because that's a Saturday and as a rule they don't give under consideration stamps that expire on days immigration offices are closed

If I was to guess I'd say you applied based on marriage / raising thai child and got a 30 day under consideration stamp that was ADDED to the expiration date of your Non-O 90 day stamp

Which from when the U.C stamp runs out seems like it might have expired around the 12th of June) 😉 <- they add the 30 days under consideration to the end of that stamp

BUT

I'm just guessing
