non-o is correct.

@Thomas ******

anything that confuses or complicates the process is bad.Keep it as simple as you can. Use the same account if possible then move it as needed.Not saying it won't work but, keep it simple.

@Thomas ******

yes.I Also recommend having the 800k in the account for the 2nd extension in case they don't accept your income method.

If you are using income method you must NEVER miss a month

Were you actually in the country when you applied and wating for approval?

and you would be wrong. This is how it works.If immigration is closed on the day you are supposed to expire, you are able to go the next working day without paying a fine.Now if you were late any other day you would pay the overstay and apply for your extension.Most offices will allow some leeway on a short overstay and you can pay the fines and continue.

Yes you could do it.

You would receive an overstay without a fine because of closure.

As said it makes no sense to do it that way.

He can't.

If he was denied entry that is not a ban, so in theory if he gets the proper visa he should be allowed to enter.

Unless there is more to the story that complicates it.

If you qualify for 60 day visa exempt, stay 60 days and leave.

Reenter and receive another 60 days.

No need to pay for a 30 day extension and still have to border bounce.

A non-o visa allows you a 90 day stay.

No health insurance required.

You would then apply for a 1 yr extension.
