Sneha77 Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Hi all, I am currently on US in L1B visa (Indian passport holder) but my visa is expired and I797 also expired. But I have one year valid I94 which I got when I entered US. Do I can apply Canada intra company transfer work permit from US? Do I need a valid visa to apply from US? Thanks. Link to comment

When your I797 has expired your I94 is no good. You can not even stay in US. Talk to your employer's attorney immediately. Link to comment

I am confused now. I was told that visa was only to enter US then we can stay till the date mentioned in I94. So while in enetered US I got I94 date more than my visa expiry date. Are you telling I can stay in my I94? Link to comment

pontevecchio Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Are you covered by a blanket L1? In any case you should refer to a Canadian site for information about Canadian work permits. Link to comment
Sneha77 Posted October 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Are you covered by a blanket L1? In any case you should refer to a Canadian site for information about Canadian work permits. Yes I am having Blanket L1. I cross checked with my employer, I can stay US as long as my I94 is valid. But my question is Do I can apply Canada work permit from US consulate using this I94? I checked Canadian site and they are asking for I797. But my I797 doesn't have any dates, it is a blanket petition valid only for my employer. Link to comment

Get an attorney involved. Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 You can apply for a Canadian Work permit from anywhere. Your presence here is not relevant. If they want tell them you are in blanket L1. Link to comment
