L1 extension - USCIS or India consulate?
Hi Everyone,
My husband's L1 visa expires in May 2020 and the lawyers are suggesting we apply for extension in India vs through USCIS. We anyways need to travel to India in February for my brother's wedding. I wanted to check with others if they've been through this before and found it was a good decision to apply in India?
- The initial stamping was done in Chennai. Do we need to apply to the same consulate or can apply to any other (Hyderabad/Delhi)?
- How long does it take from interview to get the passport back (assuming everything goes well) - trying to decide what should be the minimum duration of stay?
- We have 2 kids-5 and 2 on L2 which will also need to be updated. Should we take kids along for the interview?
- Worse case, if extension is denied there, would it still be ok for us to come back to US and appeal here?
- Are there any restrictions on which airlines we can use for traveling given the US visa would be valid for only 2 more months when we travel.
Any guidance you can provide will be great. Thanks!

L1B Blanket India, Issue in submitting DS-160
Hi ,
While filling up the information in the Security/Background Part 3 of the Form DS-160, running into a technical issue. The option selected in the security/background for the two questions shown below goes off automatically.
After selecting the option “NO”, I had saved it successfully. However, when I retrieve the application again the next time, I can see that the selection goes off automatically. Also, the two questions in the Security/Background Part 3 do not get reflected in the Preview.
I discussed with my attorney, she said submit as it is as it was not showing any error message but I don't want to furnish an incomplete form.
Has anyone ever encountered such issue, if yes how to resolve? Is there any support so that I can report my issue.
Please help.

Mumbai consulate available visa interview date
We are Indian citizens living in Canada, looking for L1A visa appointment. Unfortunately, in Canada there is no opening till January 2020 for non-Canadian citizens; and we already paid fees. We will have to pay the entire fees again to see what is the date availability in Mumbai. If anyone is currently looking to take / have taken interview appointments in Mumbai, and can let us know the availability there; it is much appreciated! We can then decide if we need to pay again and travel to India to get an earlier date. Our son has already missed so many months school with petition process and now, another 3 months for lack of date - the school year is passing by :(

Hi all
My company submitted my L1b individual petition in Aug and an RFE was received 13 days later (through the premium processing).
I have almost completed the questions however I am stuck on how to show training and work experience. Do i need to show training sheets on my behalf as well as the other colleagues?
Also i was asked to compare myself to that of the industry.. would this be through awards and achievements? I have an attorney but i wanted to know people who have been through this experience as my attorney is helping with more generic answers.
Thanks you for any replies. If you have an documents you would like to share i would be very grateful as this current feels like a big weight on my shoulders.

Applying for L1B Blanket India
Hi,
I work in a reputed product based company and our US branch has offered me a full time employment with all the benefits. My US employer has filed petition for L1B blanket for me. I have some questions regarding visa interview:
1. I got a full time employment (not an assignment, please note) so there there is not contract end date or return date mentioned in my offer letter, so is that necessary to mention a return date while applying for L1B blanket?
2. Do I need to show some amount in my bank account, will that matter?
3. Do I need to show my original academic certificates in the interview?
Can anyone help here?
Thanks
Juhi
