Passport Valid for 6 months

[vickysingh]

Hi, My passport validity left is 6 months. I have traveled on this passport to US few times on L1B visa which is expired now. Now I want to go for fresh L1 Visa. My doubt is if I go for fresh stamping would I get L1 visa for only 6 months as my passport is valid just for 6 months or i would get it for 3 years.
Also if I get visa stamped on same passport that is valid for 6 months, would i get i94 for 6 months or for 3 years.

Does it make any difference during interview that the passport has prior visa stamping and travel records to US. Is it advantage or not?
Or going for Visa stamping on fresh passport without any prior travel records is better.

not sure of the advantage of previous visa. i have heard it helps. i hope you have taken the minimum passport validity requirement into perspective for stamping..
the visa will be for the full duration granted and not restricted to visa validity period. that is the way my spouse and kids got it (3 year visa on passport expiring in 1 year)
