2013m2013m Posted January 31, 2013 Report Posted January 31, 2013 Hi, My L1B and I 94 is expiring in June 2013. I would be applying for fresh H1B in April 2013 in USA. Since this is a Fresh H1B it becomes active only in Oct 2013. How do I continue my stay in USA between June 2013 and Oct 2013. Between I was issues I94 for only 2 years when I had entered USA. Also is there a possibility of extending I94 , that way my stay is legal until my H1B becomes active.
saravanakumarmj Posted January 31, 2013 Report Posted January 31, 2013 Hello, Even I'm in the same situation. My L1b and I94 is expiring in Jul 2013. One of my my friends said that if I apply my H1b is April and apply for I94 extenstion in June, then My H1B becomes invalid, is that true? Please suggest me ideas of staying in the USA for the 2 months till my H1B becomes active. Thanks
Attorney_23 Posted January 31, 2013 Report Posted January 31, 2013 There are various ways you may be able to request permission to remain in the U.S. until your Oct. 1 start date. However, it depends upon your individual circumstances. You may want to schedule a consult with an attorney who can review your situation in greater detail and advise you on what your options may be. If you do not already have an attorney, you can schedule a consult with an attorney at the Murthy Law Firm by following the instructions found here: http://www.murthy.com/client-services/hire-us/
binoca82 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Posted February 3, 2013 You should get your L1 extended atleast until Oct. If not, most probably your H1 will be approved for consualr processing (without I94). Then, to start working on H1, you need to leave US, get H1 stamped and return to US.
