Hi, I was recently laid off under h1B visa and I wanted to apply for L2 under my husband. His company HR is saying that I need to leave US to process this? Is this true? Can i file on my own?
I've read this somewhere: "in order to change status one must be properly maintaining status. A late filing may be excused under certain circumstances, otherwise the visa will need to be processed abroad."
BUT.... How can I file for L2 in advance if I am still working under H1B..? The reason why I will only want to do L2 from H1B is because I was laid off and did not want to be out of status.. Thanks
