Hi Folks,
Have a bit of a predicament here as my L1B Visa is expiring coming August 2017 but my I94 goes onto 2020.
I have a need to head back to my home country within the next year but as my L1B Visa would have been expired, as such my departure from the US should be treated as permanent I was told.
My questions are
(1) Whether I could renew my L1B Visa from over here either before or after the expiry of the Visa considering that my I94 allows me to stay still 2020. So that i could go back to my home country and come back with no issues. I understand that I will be issued a new I94 but atleast I can enter the US again.
(2) Assuming the Visa has expired and i head back home next year. Is there a cool off period as such of 1 year for me to re-apply for the L1B visa or can I initiate the application from here and have an appointment scheduled during my visit home?
(3) Would my extended I94 support me in anyway in having my L1B application approved with no issues if i were to re-apply?
Would appreciate your advise and experiences.
Regards,
Hisham
