Thank you, and just to clarify: my extension date (the end of this 30 day exemption period since this last entry) is more than six months from the expiration date of my passport, however the End of that 30 day extension period would be less than 6 months from my passport expiration date. So I just want to make sure they only measure the six months from the extension date itself rather than the ending date of the extension period... hope that makes sense. Thanks again... this group is very helpful.
