Travel and extension question.
Did a search for 'extension' and 'consideration' and got a bit confused on when (and how long) the IO takes away your passport when under consideration.
Have type O non-imm....last extension expires 2 Aug.
Need passport for intl travel 26-31 July.
Option 1: go to Jomtien IO real soon (19 or 20 July) and risk IO holding my passport when I need it for 26-31 July travel. ...OR
Option 2: Go on expiration day 2 Aug after returning from travel. (I think the new extension has to be done on expiration day and not like 90 day report, a week after.)
