I'd be grateful for reassurance and advice from those with greater wisdom and experience.

I applied for the Elite visa, but I'm a bit confused about the following:

1. Cancellation of my non-immigrant O (Thai husband) visa. Is the process: Cancel in my province, then go to BKK to get the Elite visa, or go to BKK, then cancel? Or it could be: Make the Elite visa appointment, then cancel, then go to BKK. (The wording of the terms is a bit ambiguous and contradictory on this point.)

2. I have only about 2.5 years remaining on my current passport, is it easy to transfer the remaining 2.5 years into a new passport? (Again, the terms are not 100% clear on this.)

3. I'm seeking a divorce and want to change back to my maiden name in my next passport. Anyone have any experience with this?

I'm also hoping my local immigration office will not inform my husband about the Elite visa application.

What a long post. Thanks for your patience and thanks in advance for your help!
