L1 extension - USCIS or India consulate?
Hi Everyone,
My husband's L1 visa expires in May 2020 and the lawyers are suggesting we apply for extension in India vs through USCIS. We anyways need to travel to India in February for my brother's wedding. I wanted to check with others if they've been through this before and found it was a good decision to apply in India?
- The initial stamping was done in Chennai. Do we need to apply to the same consulate or can apply to any other (Hyderabad/Delhi)?
- How long does it take from interview to get the passport back (assuming everything goes well) - trying to decide what should be the minimum duration of stay?
- We have 2 kids-5 and 2 on L2 which will also need to be updated. Should we take kids along for the interview?
- Worse case, if extension is denied there, would it still be ok for us to come back to US and appeal here?
- Are there any restrictions on which airlines we can use for traveling given the US visa would be valid for only 2 more months when we travel.
Any guidance you can provide will be great. Thanks!
