if marriage fails for whatever reason (been together 11 years) so I am optimistic in that regard, can I revert back to retirement extension?
Yes

In my posts all fees and requirements are the standard R&R but TIT and a brown envelope can make incredible changes YMMV.

I think they used to prefer the retirement extension because it involves less work on their part .
No copies to Bangkok , so , no one checking their work .
No home visit , to see if you actually live as man and wife at the address you gave .
No repeat visit by applicant , 30 days after application .
I preferred it because , no witness to bother , and only one page in passport used , and only one visit .
Now they are just making the retirement option less attractive , and creating more work for themselves T I T .
