  • L1-B Visa Expired, I-129S Expired but I-797 Valid Indefinitely !!

    Hi,

    I had stayed and worked in US on L1-B Blanket Visa from April 2013 through May 2014. I am in India now as I write this post.

    The visa stamped on passport shows expiry on 5th March 2016.
    The PED date on the stamped visa also mentions 5th March 2016.
    The I-129S (Nonimmigrant Petition) has s stamp that says valid until three years from "6th March 2013".

    The confusing part is I-797 (notice of action) says "Petition Valid Indefinitely"

    Now if I were to travel back to US again for the same specialization, can I just request for a Consulate interview date to get a new L1-B visa stamped on my passport based on I-797 (i.e. Indefinite validity)? Or do I need to apply for a fresh L1-B petition all over again? Or do I need to get a new approved I-129S but not I-797?

    Kindly advise.

    Thanks in advance,
    S Ray
