L1 declined, while I am for training in B1 Visa

[LC11]

Hi,

My company has filed L1 petition, which got declined while I am in US for training in B1 visa. I have been here for 2 months and would be staying for total of 3.5 months (my I94 is valid for 6 months).

1) Would there be any issue or breach if I stay for that long?

2) Would there be issue next time either in L1 filing or B1 re entry, since I have stayed long time in B1 visa

Appreciate you reply.

Thanks

how long did you tell the VO you were going to be 'trained?'

Generally speaking, a foreign national admitted on B-1 for 6 months can remain the full 6 months without violating h/er status (assuming the individual otherwise maintains valid status.)
