H1-L1 AOS, I-140 Approval Pending, L2 Stamping possible were L1 is not stamped?

[vel771977]

Hi,

Case History:

1. I came in H1-B to the US Entity of my company in India and my family were in H4.
2. Within 18 months, my company changed my status from H1-B to L1-A and my family is in L2. We didnt got our passport stamped with 'L' Visa yet.
3. After L1-A approval, company filed my I-140 in Mar'19 and waiting for approval.

Problem Statement: For summer vacation, my family is going to India and they have to go for L2 stamping.

1. Will there be any issue in getting L2 stamping as I havent got my L1 VISA stamped after my Change Of Status from H1-B to L1-A?
2. Should I go with them for L1 stamping as it is mandatory for first time L2-Stamping.

1. No issues

2. Not mandatory

 

Your I-797 approval by USCIS is sufficient for them to get visa stamped
