L Visa - Live Discussions from our Forums

I know a person whose L1 expired on March 14, 2012. He had re applied on March 7, 2012. He has not received receipt of application.
His family has not applied for renewal.

He is worried that his family status might be construed as illegal stay.
He is willing to do what is right.

Any help will help.

His basic question is "Should I notify UCSIS now today on MArch 18, 2012 that his family will be filing shortly for L2 when they receive his L1 receipt of application notice from USCIS OR should he go and file for his family anyways?"

Thanks.

Hi,

My current status is :
I-94 Expired: 31-Jan-2012
L1B Expired: 31-Jan-2012
L1A Petition applied on 16-Jan-2012 Premium Processing
RFE Recieved: 27-Jan-2012.

RFE is asking for Company information and evidence of my activities in foriegn country as manager or executive role.

Question:

If post RFE petetion is rejected, do i have option to apply for L1B while staying in the USA?
Can I challenge or re-open L1A petition to consider as L1B category ?

Do I need to return to India if my petetion is not approved?

Hi All,

This forum has been really helpful to me. I got all my queries answered and I got benefited from it.

Currently I am having some ambiguity on my Wife's case.

My Wife came here on H4 last year in May. She got a job from her previous employer and they gave her an L1B visa.
The visa petition was approved and she started to work. (They have done the COS from H4 to L1).

We are planning to goto India next month and we have already submitted the DS160 form to Consulate.
We are yet to schedule an appointment early next month.

The company is confident of getting the Visa stamped on passport.
But I just have a concern:
In case if the Visa is not stamped, can my wife still come back to US on H4 visa immediately. (And obviously she cannot work since L1 Visa is rejected)

If she cannot come back due to COS, what are the options left for me.

ANother option which came to my mind is: NOT TO GO for Visa stamp and come back on H4. (since previous stamp should still be valid) and go for L1 Visa stamp in next trip.

I am now totally confused whether to go for Visa stamp or not.
Also if we go and if it gets rejected, what are the options ?

Can you please suggest me with your valuable inputs.
