I had a short lived happiness of my L1A petition approval. Today I received my approved petition and was shocked to see the approval for just 2 months. Did it ever happen to anyone in the past? Background - I was about to complete 5 years on L1B Visa this december'2013. My company has filed my visa conversion from L1B to L1A this may (6 months prior to the completion of 5 years). My petition went in to RFE and finally got approved in the last week of September. I felt happy and assumed that my new petition will have validity for next 2 years, till my 7 year completion date. But surprisingly, my happiness short lived, my petition approval end date is my 5 year completion date ie this December 2013. Effectively I got the approval for only 2 months. I am really not sure about the reason/logic behind this. Can anyone suggest me the options available in front of me to stay beyond by 5 years? Please help!
