I got mine from the Oakland, California Police Dept in October 2018. Perhaps the rules have changed since then.

Clarification. Upon completing my extension, the IO reminded me I would still need to do my 90-day reporting, which had an appointment/due date of about 3 weeks after my extension - which was my first extension based on an OA Visa based on being over 50. I now recall that I did that 90-day reporting in person, only because I found it easy to do since I live close to immigration. After that, I completed the next one online without any problems. The timeline or due dates of my 90-day reporting never changed due to getting my extension of stay renewed.

I have successfully completed an online report after an extension of stay, and the timeline I used was based on my prior appointment or due date for 90 day reporting, with no change due to the date of my extension to stay. I have subsequently completed one 90 day report via EMS post, which I mailed 10 days before that due date, which worked fine.

@Brad ******

yes, precisely. Thank you.

@Tim ******

thanks, I can ask someone back in the U.S. to assist me

@Br***

and can receive traditional texts also?

@Ryan **********

excellent, thank you. $4.99/year is fine, I can deal w the ads. Thank you very much for the follow-up, definitely appreciated.

@Dana *********

ok, not seamless then. I need a reliable service to receive texts for 2FA

@Ryan **********

A dedicated number is essential for me. free is good of course, but if it requires $1.99 month, I can do that if I don't find a better option.

@Dana *********

do you know if Google voice can be used for receiving text messages for one-time password (OTP) or two factor authentication (TFA)? Thanks
