yes. I can say that that is what I have done and still do. There are experts in here that can clarify better than I can. Just speaking from experience. This is for Non-O (or non-OA) retirement extension of stay.

I’m speaking From my experience. I’ve been here 10 years so maybe it has changed but I don’t think so. When I got my non O retirement in DC I had to have insurance and provide a criminal defense check.

if you get the non O retirement out side TH. Then you are required to have health insurance. If you come into TH. First by some appropriate 90 day visa and apply for the non O retirement inside TH. Then you are not required to have insurance.
