Why don't you just visit immigration and ask them the question, take a person with you if not a Thai speaker. Most advice on this site is good, but why don't people ask Thai immigration, I find them pretty good.

ok, retirement can be stamped without the paperwork going to BKK.

@Tod ********

just general question why is it such.a long wait for a Non O extension thru marriage, they (immigration) already say no visit to resident required, all other paperwork as required supplied, but always a 4-5 week wait. Plus I've also paid the required tax to Revenue, although that maybe a mistake as many not even registered meaning 180 day people.

make sure your marriage cert is confirmed by local Ampure, if married in Thailand its easy if married abroad a bit more complicated

So why did certain embassy's stop the income letter. Isn't it the function of embassy's to help their citizens while abroad.

I do my marriage extension at Maha Sarakham very simple then the 4 week wait.
