Query on L1B experience: Is it a problem if I was in the US for 4 months on B1?
Hi.. I am scheduling my L1B visa interview in August. I travelled to the US and was in my corporate office for 4 months to attend a lot of meetings. Is that going to be an issue for the L1B application? I came back 3 months ago.
