thank you for the clarification. I now understand that all I am doing is getting an extension based on marriage. I have a bank statement for the past year of transactions.
AUA have closed a number of branches and mine was one of them. I am therefore redundant ( my work permit will be cancelled when I apply for a visa extension. All my colleagues from the branch are in the same boat. I do not wish to teach in a school and have decided to retire. So my understanding is that I have to apply for a non O visa. I don’t have the requirements for a retirement visa. I have also been married since 2009.
