Haripavank Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Hi law firm Team, I work for a US based company, with offshore operations in India. While filling out the current L1-A visa extension documentation, I see that "details about my earlier visa extension is asked in the form". To be specific, the question reads as "If you have ever overstayed your Visa/I-94"? I need your help to fill this out as I think I am confused what to answer. Please go through points below and respond to my question based on it. Arrived in USA on L-1 B work visa on April 30 2011 with Visa and I-94 valid till 29-SEP-2012 As part of the visa extension process, a extension request and Change of status to L1-A was filed by MY COMPANY in SEP 2012 before visa expired. I continued to work after 29-SEP-2012, based on my visa extension request filed by MY COMPANY. Few weeks later we received RFE and MY COMPANY responded to USCIS with more documentation provided by me and prepared by company. Finally, I received my visa extension on APRIL 10th 2013, extended and valid till 29-SEP-2014. My question is, the period between 29-SEP-2012 TILL 10-APR-2013, is it called as "overstaying my Visa/I-94" ? Should I mention as "Yes" for that question in the new documentation that I am filling out for current visa extension? Kindly let me know, and thanks for your consideration to respond to my query. Thanks, Deepika Karangula M:************ Link to comment
jairichi Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Your answer is NO as it is legal to stay in country when an extension petition is in progress. Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 You did not overstay your visa. Why is the company Lawyer not doing the filing? Link to comment
