L1, L2 Visa

Hi Fellow Forum members,

Hope you all are staying safe!

I have my L1A individual appointment on 1st of March, 2021. My passport is valid till August 2021, and i heard that we need atleast 6 months validity before i can travel to the USA. Should i renew my passport before the interview? I have given my old passport number for the DS 160, hope that doesnt get invalidated. Looking forward to your answers. Thanks.

Hello,
I-539 was received by USCIS on May 18 2020.
Due to Covid, all the ASC was closed. In the USCIS website it is provided - "If you do not receive an appointment notice or notification of biometrics reuse by mail within 90 days of your ASC reopening, call 800-375-5283 ."
I am yet to receive the appointment letter.
Please advise if there is any way enquire regarding same. I had to resign from the job as my EAD expired. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thank you!

Hi Team

I have L1B Visa which has "PED" of 3 years mentioned.

As I know L1B is for 5 Years maximum limit.

What is the process to get extensions of remaining 2 years?

Hello, I have applied for my L2 EAD renewal in September 2020 at the Laguna Niguel Center in California. I have received a Notice of Action dated September 9, 2020. What is the usual time that anyone has received an approval during the covid times?

Hi Experts,

Can someone please help me find the answer to the below questions?
1) what are the chances of getting COS approval from L2 to L1 and the processing time,( timelines for premium processing too?)
2) Which option is better. COS or consular processing for L2 to L1?

Thank you to all in advance. Any help or past experience is really appreciate for me to make the right decision.

Hi there. I work in France for a large multinational and I am set to move to the US. I am a Luxembourg national.
I am aiming for the L1B visa and I read that there might be an Exception to the ban for certain individuals.
I am trying to understand if it's realistic for me to aim for a move to the States in the next few months or not. Is everything absolutely blocked? Can I still start the process now or must I wait that the ban is lifted?
Thanks for any help, I really want to understand what to do!!

Hello All,

This forum has been extremely helpful for all of us. Thank you all very much!

Today, I would like to understand the immigration process at the US airport and how to answer the POE questions for L1B category. I am prepared with the basic questions but I dunno what to answer to "How long do you intend to stay in the U.S?". So, my visa is valid till November 2022, it was approved in February 2020 but I couldn't travel all these days due to the COVID-19 situation and I'll be traveling to US shortly.

Can someone let me know what is the best answer when the CBP officer asks how long I would stay in US? Should I say three years or less than that coz my visa is only valid for next two years?

Appreciate any responses!

Regards.

Hi All,

I got my L1-B Blanket Extension denied on Oct 5, 2020 which was filed under premium processing. I am travelling back to my home country within next 7 days but wanted to know if my employer can now apply for L1-B Individual immediately or will I need to again wait for 1 year to show employment with foreign employer for consecutive 12 months. Please note I was in US for all last 3 years on my L1-B visa. Please suggest, any leads will be highly appreciated.

Hello Everyone,

I had completed my DS-160 application form in March 2020. Before I could book an appointment, the embassies were closed and the website was not allowing any appointments.
I visited the CGI website today and it is allowing me to book an OFC appointment. I think this is the biometric one but I am not sure if it is a good idea to book appointment as H1-B, L1 visas are blocked till December.
Did anyone book an OFC appointment recently ?

Hi,

My L1 Blanket petition is filed and approved in march. Before i could go and schedule Visa appointment lock down has started.

I see that chennai US Consulate is now open and accepting visa interviews. But when i try booking an appointment i always get message saying that
"There are no appointments and try again later".

Has any one been able to book appointment at Chennai Consulate office.
