Hello,
I would appreciate some advices/information regarding my situation: my family will relocate to the US: me and my husband will both work with L1 visa, our 5 years old son received L2. My husband already travelled and started working in January, while I was planning to travel with my son in March, spend 2 months with finding an appropriate kindergarten and supporting my son with the big change, than starting working at the beginning of May. I applied and received the L1 visa for me and L2 visa for my son (both valid right away), but at the consulate I was informed that with the L1 type of visa I am allowed to enter the US only maximum 10 days in advance of the starting day of work (1st of May in my case). But, I was ensured that, since I also have a B1/2 visa, there shouldn't be any problems.
Than, the company that supported my application for the visa told me that the situation is different: my son is not allowed to enter with L2 visa if I enter with B1/2 visa, so I have to apply for B2 visa also for him. Than, in order to activate the L1 and L2 visas in May, we would have to travel out and back in the US by flight.
My question is if there is no easier solution for being able to travel in March and if indeed I would have to undergo all these additional steps.
Many thanks for any helpful answer!
