stayed for more than 100 days during B1 visa and now applying for L1 visa

[kevin1980]

All,

I had traveled to USA in 2016 on B1 visa, and stayed there for 100 days for both Professional and Personal reason. Once I came back, my company is filing L1 visa. I have my visa interview next week and I have a doubt regarding my last stay in usa.
I was there in USA for 100 days on B1 visa. would it be a negative impact on my L1 visa interview? what should I answer VO , when he asks why did I stay for 100 days?

thanks in advance for your response.

Thanks

B1 stay

How long were you given when you arrived? most B1 are also given a B2. It's usually a combination B1/B2.

I was given six months at POE

You will just tell the VO that you were here taking care of business and that while you were here you did some site-seeing or whatever. It's common for people to do both while on business.
