vjasks Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Hi, My L1B visa expires on 02 Sep '13. I have been to the US twice before. For 1 month (05/15 - 06/14 2013) and Feb - Sep 2012 before that. I had to come back to India for a period of 1 month in June 2013. I am flying back due to urgent client need for project related work on Aug 06 '13 and will be arriving in the US on 07 Aug '13. I plan to file my L1B visa extension petition through my company once I am in the US. My question is - 1. Will my arrival date in US on 07 Aug (25 days before my Visa expires) cause an issue at the Port of entry in terms of me being denied entry ? 2. Will my latest arrival be a reason for my L1B extension petition to be rejected ? Please advise if there are any points/factors I need to take care of while preparing my L1B extension petition and what can I do to overcome if the above situation may cause issues at my Port of Entry or Eventual visa extension petition. Please advise and help me out. Thanks in advance. Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 You could have them do that or file an extension right now. Link to comment
t75 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Why are you doing this? Why is not your company attorney not preparing the petition? Link to comment

Rest all will be taken care of by our Immigration team. My only concern is - Will there be an issue at the Port of Entry if I land in the US 25 days before my VISA expiry and if this could be one of the reasons for my extension petition being rejected. My visa extension will be filed from the US itself. Only thing stopping us from doing that is the I-94 copy and passport stamp which I will get only after I land in the US. Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 No Offense. You are an executive. Visa is a stamp. A petition is an application. They can file now. Why not? On the other hand that is your problem? Link to comment
