While filling in DS 160, encountered a peculiar scenario and hence, request help for the following question,
Background: My L1B visa was extended and converted to L1A visa on 10th October 2012 and had received I-94 extension card (expiry - 22 March 2014) along with I-797A . however, I never had visa stamped again and returned back before completion of new I-94 expiry date. I am applying for new L1-A. while filling the DS 160 form , was not sure on what needs to be entered for the following questions
1. "Date Last Visa was issued"? - Should it be issuance date of L1B- visa which was obtained in 2010 ? or should it be the L1-A extension received in 2012? Please note I had never went for Visa Stamping and only have copy of I-94 extension card and 1797 approved petition.
2. "Visa Number" - What should be entered here If I enter L1A extension approval date for the above question,
I tried entering the WAC number for L1-A extension, which is not recognized and also tried entering I-94 card number which is also not accepted.
3. Are you applying for the same visa type ? If I select L1-A approval date , then believe its the same visa type, however if I select L1-B date (2010) then its not the same visa type. is that correct understanding?
Please advise
