Hi, I had my L1A interview in Chennai on 15th June. The officer approved my visa gave me the stamped I129S, kept my passport for stamping. Also applied NIE approval for me and gave the 221g for NIE approval as my case is eligible for NIE as I am planning to travel in next 30 days. now I have both the L1A approval and 221g as NIE approval. did anyone had same situation?

University admission is on hold because of not having valid visa and L2 expedite request also denied on this ground
Hi,
Our visa expired on 12/14/2020. We applied for an extension a couple of months prior - in September. My husband’s L1 visa was approved on March, 2021 and my son and I are still waiting for our L2. My son just got his high school diploma from here and the university he wanted to go to are denying admission since he has no valid visa. We tried to request for an expedite for that reason, but that has also been denied since “it doesn’t match the criteria for expedition”. At this point, we are unsure what we can do for his college admission in this scenario. Please help.
Thanks in advance!

Can I file L2 EAD renewal 9 months before expiry?
Hi All. I have been reading about L2 EAD extension/renewal delays. My L2 EAD is valid until 04-February-2022. My I-94 is valid until 29-August-2022, so no immediate issues with my L2 visa. Given that EAD renewals are taking more time now, Can I file my EAD renewal now itself? I have around 9 months left on my EAD.
Some have mentioned that it is mandatory to file EAD renewal only 6 months before the expiry. I am not sure if it is a hard rule/limit and if it is mentioned in any website. Any suggestions or help in this regard will be very helpful. Thank you!

Can we switch the status of H4 Visa to L1 B ?
Hello there,
I am currently residing in the United States on an H4 visa, while my wife holds an H1-B visa and I am a dependent visa holder. My company is processing my L1B (Specialised Knowledge ), but I'm curious if there is a way for me to change the status of my visa from H4 to L1 without having to travel to India.
Is there any way to get my L1 visa approved without going to India if the above option does not work? Is the L1 Individual method helps?
Greetings

L1B interview slots
Hi,
I am sure you all have read recent news about Biden putting VISA processing for L1 and other types on hold. Need to know
- Whether interview slots can be scheduled through DS160 now
- Any tentative date when the processing will start
- Are the Chennai and other consulates working
- What are the chances of getting an emergency interview slot?

L1B - Blanket
Hi All,
I have been following these blogs for quite some time now and I feel its good to share my experience.
I had L1B - Blanket Visa interview on 6th May, I was checking or Interview slots 2 months back but it was showing no dates was available in Ottawa and the latest date available in Toronto was somewhere in December or January 2022 (Calgary and Vancouver will be too far me to travel with family so I didn't bother to check for those locations). I was randomly checking for dates everyday and one day I was lucky enough to get date on 6th May 2021 (This could be probably someone has cancelled or US Consulate has opened few slots for that day I am not sure).
Whole process was pretty simple and straight forward.
I got appointment for 9:00 AM and I was their by 8:45, it was given in instructions not to bring Kids below 13 due to pandemic but my kid was only 4 years and I don't have place to keep her alone but consulate as kind enough to allow my kid inside.
First was security check , electronics was not allowed...car key is fine.
then I went to second counter where the lady at the counter helped me with arranging all required documents.
Third counter was Interview, VO took all my documents and asked me around 4-5 questions.
why are you going to US?
Since how many years you are working in this company?
nature of work?
how many years you will stay in US?
how you been to US earlier ?
to my Wife -
how long have you been married ?
have you been to US earlier ?
then he said your visa is approved.
I feel these are pretty standard questions and it last for 15 mins.
Like everyone I was little scared that they might cancel by appointment due to recent situation but it didn't happened so.
Looks like they have opened slots for very few appointments a day with only 2 counters, I could see around 20 ppl got interviews along with me but when I came outside by 10:00 AM I don't see any one standing in outside.
I think if anyone of you have interview in coming weeks they are going to honor it.
Thanks,

L1A Extension from India
Hello All,
I am on L1A Individual VISA and got stuck in India due to Travel Ban. My current petition is expiring in next 3 months.
If i want to file my extension from India then do I need to have a team in USA reporting to me or have to be a projected team at USA?
If any one have filed extension from India or share the information on proceedings would be great.
Thanks in advance!!
