I-94 expired, L1 extn Denied, Current L1 Visa Still Valid
Hi,
I'm currently in US on L1B Visa (Company Transfer).
My L1B is valid till Apr 2010.
Issue
I came in US in FEB 2008 and my passport was expiring in Oct 2008, so the immigration officer gave me I-94 validity till Oct 2008.
In Aug, I went to Deferral Inspection Department (CBP) in Miami for I-94 renewal but they denied and suggested me to leave country and come back again.
But my company filed a L1 extn requesting validity till Apr 2011 in process to renew my expiring I-94. In Dec 2008, my company recieved a RFE on L1 extn (I don't know the RFE contents and questions). My company replied to RFE on Jan 08, 2009.
On 09-Feb-2009, I recieved an email from USCIS that my L1 extn has been denied. My company has not recieved the official notice yet.
As a safety plan, my company is asking me to go to Bahamas and come back , thinking I will get a new I-94 valid till Apr 2010. But they say that there is a theoretical risk that , I may not be allowed to enter in US.
If anyone can help me suggesting the valid legal options I have so that I can stay in US. Thanks in Advance !!
