chandu103 Posted September 13, 2017 Report Posted September 13, 2017 My brother is currently on L1 visa (Blanket) and he came initially in May 2015 and worked till Sep 2016. Recently he came back again in May 2017 and at POE his I-94 was given till March 2020. His current approved petition is valid till March 2018. My questions are: 1. Does his employer need to file for extension in-case if he is staying beyond March 2018? 2. Can he work on I-94 date ( i.e. March 2020) with out applying for extension? 3. What if he has plans to go to india for visiting after March 2018? Please advise.
pontevecchio Posted September 13, 2017 Report Posted September 13, 2017 1. Blanket petitions used to get a three year I94 on entry . But the period of legal work is not supposed to be beyond the dates in the I-129S 2.3. Have him speak to the employers Lawyers. ""it is clear that, regardless of whether a worker is in possession of an unexpired I-94, prior to the expiration of the I-129S endorsement date, the employer should either file a petition with USCIS to extend the status of the Blanket L worker or send the worker abroad to apply for a new Blanket L visa stamp in order to obtain a newly endorsed I-129S.""
