Travel outside US after getting L1 COS approval & before getting the approval notice

[arunc]

HI All,

Greetings...!

My Scenario

Current I-94 Expiry - Aug end 2013
L1A COS in approved for 2 years (Validity Date: 07/13 - Ending Dae: 07/15) & waiting for the Original Approval notice.

Is that okay for my spouse to travel out of USA on July 29th 2013? Should she just submit the old(current) I-94 during exit (as we have not got the new I-94 in hand yet) ?
Due to some immediate Family urgency back in India, my Wife and kid need to travel back this Monday 07/29/2013. I’m staying back though.

My plan is that once I get her new I-797 (with new I-94 in that), I will leave to India and go for Visa-stamping together with my wife.
Will there be any problem while she enters back to USA in Sept 2013 ? (submitted the old valid I-94 during exit as new I-94 was not in hand that time)?

Request your help…and thanks much for your time.

Regards,
Arun

No issues. You can submit the I-94 later on too. And as you are going for fresh stamping when you re enter US in Sept 2013 or later, as it is all of you will get a new I-94.

To be on safe side, dont lose that I-94 and also keep original/copy of outbound/inbound tickets and boarding passes.

This is my opinion not legal advice.
