Hi,

 

I visited the US in December 2010 on my L1-B visa. My visa got expired during my 2 year stay but got my extension approved till November 2013. 

I came back to India in Jan 2013. I got my visa stamped in August 2013(before the petition expiry) but got a 3 yr visa stamped even though my extension petition was only till Nov 2013. I traveled to the US again in Jan 2014 but was denied admission at the port of entry due to the expired petition document (The 3 year visa validity was not considered). My 3 year L1-B visa was also cancelled. 

 

I'd like to know if I could go ahead and have my employer file my L1-B visa again immediately or if I need to wait for the complete year (Till Jan 2015) before doing so.

 

Regards,

Kedar

Hi,

 

Thank you for your response. I had come back from the US in Jan 2013 and completed my 1 year before leaving again earlier this year. I was not allowed entry in US this time. So i believe my clock has already got reset during the 2013 - 2014 stay.  So just wanted to confirm if i still need to wait till Jan 2015 to get it stamped.

 

Thank you!

Yes, you have a point. Your clock would have reset in Jan 2014. Let employer file a fresh L1B petition to get 5 years.
