L1A Stamping - Dependent visa stamping - Passport expires in 2016

[sippy070]

I am going for L-1A Blanket visa stamping along with my family in a week. My kids passport is expiring in Apr'2016. The project duration is shown as 3 years and my passport is valid till 2018.

Will that be a problem for my kid's visa stamping? Can visa be stamped beyond passport expiry date?

Thank you.

I dont see any issue in visa stamping for your kid. Visas can be stamped to extend beyond passport expiry.

If you get the visa, while entering US, at the port of Entry your kid will likely get I-94 only till Apr 2016. You can apply for passport renewal for your kid in US, and then apply for I-94 extension through form I-539 to match your I-94 while being in US.

This is my opinion not legal advice.
