L1B denied. Visitor visa on Medical grounds

[vishelp123]

Hi,

My L1b visa and I94 are expiring on Jan 2013. My wife is 30 weeks pregnant

hence we are not in a position to travel back to our country. My company is

applying for my L1b extention

If my L1b extention is denied after my current I94 expiry, Can i apply for a

visitor visa on medical grounds at that point of time and legally stay in US for 2-3 months so that

i could safely take the baby to my country?

Thanks

You can ask ur company to file L1b extension just weeks before it is expiring.

It generally takes 1-2 month to get reply. And even if its goes into RFE, it will give you more time.

So in all you can easily get 2-3 months, if thats all you really want.
