Common confusion points
Confusing 'Renewal' with a simple 'Extension'; they often mean the same thing but check instructions.
Not clearly stating *why* you need renewal (e.g., contract end date vs. visa expiration).
Failing to attach proof of continuous employment since the last permit issuance.
Using an old version of F24B that has recently been updated.
