Completed 5 years on L1B but both visa and i94 are still valid

[sachin2807]

Hi,

I have a question on my stay in US on L1B visa but not able to get a straight forward answer till now.
My visa and i94 are valid till March 2019 but i will be completing my 5 years in October 2018. So am i eligible to stay in US till mar 2019 or i have to go back in October since i will be completing maximum stay of 5 years at that time.


Thanks in advance

You can claim days you did not work & got paid, like vacations & visit to home country. That way you can extend your stay by couple of week/months.

Since you've your visa/petition/I94 valid till March 2019 - staying in USA should not be a problem.

If you've plan to come back to USA, then better to go back before Oct 2018 & re-apply for a new visa.
