L1A Individual Visa Interview waiver

[Chinni123]

I came across this old posting :
If you hold an L1A Individual you may qualify for Interview waiver if :
This is the last criteria, all the other criteria are satisfied, I have confusion about this, can you please clarify.

"An individual L1-A visa is still valid or expired within the last 12 months. To qualify, the petitioner must be the same as on your initial visa, however, the end client need not be the same. You must present a current, valid I-129, LCA, Petitioner Letter to USCIS and pay slips showing your salary for the preceding three (3) months."

Q : I have a L1A individual approved petition planning to get a fresh VISA . My old L1A blanket Visa expired in June -2012. So, as per the above condition it is more than 12 months now since it expired ?
So, will I be eligible for waiver?

No. Visa and petition are two different things. What you have an approved petition, what you needed was a valid visa expired in last 12 Months to be eligible for a waiver. Since you dont have that you are not eligible.

This is my opinion not legal advice.
