Ronit Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Hi, My L1B Visa expired last November and i am currently working on I-94 validity. My employer wants to file for an L1-B to L1-A COS under premium processing. My Question: Can my employer file for L1B to L1A COS under premium processing? How much time will it take to get the receipt number? How much time will it take for premium processing and get the final result? Thanks Ronit Link to comment

If you want to utilize 6 years of max allowed on H1B and then move to L1A then a COS has to be filed not more than 6 months before H1B expiry date. Link to comment
tretrey Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 thank you. I am on L1B now, my visa expires in june (max out) , so i dont have 6 month period now to file for extension. Can my employer apply for a fresh L1A petition, rather than applying for extension? Link to comment

Aashish001 Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Hello Jairichi, I have similar case as tretrey. I tried to look up uscis.gov site to see if there is any such requirement (that employer cannot file for L1A if max out period is less than 6 months) and did not find. Can you please share any link on uscis.gov site that will confirm that there is no issue in filing for L1A when there is less than 6 months on maxout, so that I can take it to my employer? Thanks!
