My L1A visa is valid till 2nd week of April'15. I am planning to file an extension in Nov'14 by premium processing. I am planning to visit India in Jan'15 and will reenter USA in first week of Feb'15. So when I reenter in Feb'15 I will have valid visa stamping till 2nd week of Apr'15 from the original petition. Meanwhile I will be filling an extension in Nov'14 and say that my petition is extended for another two year till 2017. So I have following questions.
1. Suppose if I do not file L1A extension in Nov'14 and visit India in Jan'15 and reenter USA in first week of Fab'15, will there be any problem in reentry as my visa is expiring in 2nd week of Aprl'15 and I have visa which is valid for only another 2 and half months after my reentry?
2. If I file an extension in Nov'14, and if the same is approved. Does my original visa which is expiring in 2nd week of April'15 will still be valid after extension? I heard that once the extension is approved in Nov'14, the original valid visa will be voided and if I leave the country in Jan'15 after the extension, I have to go for stamping in India before coming back to USA in Feb'15 even though I have a valid visa from original petition till 2nd week of April'15. Is it true?
3. If I file an extension in Nov'14, and if the same is not approved. Does my original visa which is expiring in 2nd week of April'15 will still be valid till April'15 even though the extension is not approved? In this case if I leave the country in Jan'15 and reenter USA in Feb'15 with valid original visa till 2nd week of April'15 even though the extension is not approved, will there be any problem?
