My i-94 Extension got deined, Due to that valid visa also denied?

[subbuj1978]

Dear Sir/Madam,

My I-94 will expire on 30-APR-2012, L1 extn Denied (i-94 Extension) My L1-B is valid till Mar 2016. I'm currently in US on L1B Visa (Company Transfer).

Issue
First time I came to USA on APR-2011 and went back to India on OCT-2011. Again I came in US in DEC 2010 and my passport was expiring in APR 2012, so the immigration officer gave me I-94 validity till APR 2012. Now I renewed my new passport at Chicago Indian Embassy. my company filed a L1 extn (for i-94 extension), my company received a RFE on L1 extn(for i-94 extension),. My company replied to RFE on Mar 15, 2012.On 28-Mar-2012, I received an email from USCIS that my L1 extn (for i-94 extension) has been denied.

Can I go back to India and return to USA using my existing valid visa? At the time I will get the new i-94? Or I need to apply fresh L1-B visa?

What will happen my old visa status?

Kindly request you please help to clarify my above query.

If the L1 petition and the L1 visa remains valid, then you can exit the country and re-enter to get a new I-94 at the POE.

Which petition are you talking about? You mean the previous one that you have? The previous petition will remain valid until the expiry date printed in the petition / I-94. If the extension is denied, then the petition filed for extension is denied and not the previous one.

Hi,

Thanks Shervin.

Now Denied data will be available in my records. When I come back to USA using the old Visa and Petition, POE will not validate the Denied data exist at my records?

They will ask any questions for Denied status?
