I have the L1B visa validity for 3 years. Currently I'm in L1B visa working for the employer for 10 months. Though I have been moved to US work location, my payroll is still in India and here I only get the COLA(cost of living Allowance) in US monthly.
And it was informed by my employer that I cannot extent to stay here in US more than 1 year as my payroll is in India. I need to go back to my home country and stay for 6 months and I can travel again.
So I want to understand, what is the process here though I have valid L1B visa, why is it required to go back for 6 months? Thought of understanding the process involved here.
Question 1: Why I cannot stay in US after an year inspite of holding valid visa
Question 2:Incase if I need to go back to the home country, what is the minimum period to stay outside?
