What should I do if my Non-O retirement visa application is still pending and my exemption visa is about to expire?

A user has applied for a 3-month Non-O retirement visa four weeks ago but has not yet received it, with their exemption visa expiring the next day. The community advises contacting the immigration office for clarification and possibly asking for an extension or border bounce to avoid overstaying. Comments suggest that if the application is being processed and the fee has been paid, there should be no concern about overstaying. The user was reassured that they could receive their visa on the expiry date, and ultimately, they later confirmed that they successfully obtained their visa.
