Me and my wife have expired L1 A and L2 visas. Our I-94 however expires in March 2016.
My problem is that I have to go to India to attend a family function in a few months and since I have a expired Visa I wouldn't be able to re-enter US eventhough I have a valid I-94..
I understand cannot apply for a extension as an extension can only be applied 6 months before I94 expiry..
What shd be done in this scenario ? Can I simply get a new visa stamping when I am in India which will allow me to re-enter US? Do I need to submit all the paperwork required for a new visa or would the us consulate consider my valid status and give me a new visa without any new paperwork?
