Hi All/Moderators
I am sorry if this may sound like a little confusing question, but nevertheless I need some expert guidance, so here it goes :
History : I hold a B1[extensively used with 6-7 trips in last three years and prior] and a recently issued H4[was in US for ~5 months] and returned to India in Aug 2016 and presently there. Attempted unsuccessfully L1B Blanket in 2013 and 2011 and same fate with three consecutive attempts with H1B due to lottery rejection.
Need : Now, I am planning to initiate a L1A Blanket since I am in such role in my current company in next couple of months but I am stuck as I am planning to make a B1 trip in October 2016 for 2-3 weeks and there on another ~month or so in December 2016 on H4, the question I have is - Can I go ahead with these trips and in parallel initiate the L1A, somewhere in November 2016 or even in January/February 2017 after my H4 trip return? Kindly advise.
Technically, from an immigration procedure standpoint, my understanding is that above shouldnt impact L1A processing since each Visa is a different thing but at times Consulate/VO can take things perceptional, as a result deny L1A with so many recent travels in various Visas. Thank you in Advance and really appreciate the help.
