Hi I am currently in US on L1 Visa without my family. Below were the expiry dates for the various documents.
Blanket L1B Visa - 5th Feb 2016
I94 - 5th Feb 2016
L1B petition (I129) - 5th Feb 2016. Extension for this is already applied in Aug 2015and I have the receipt number from UCSIS.
This was moved to premium in Feb 2016, which received RFE and finally got approved in May 2016.
The new I797 says that my visa is L1B and node not indicate anywhere the word 'Blanket'. So I am not sure if its considered as individual L1 or still blanket L1?
My dependents were issued Blanket L2 initially for the same period as mine (Feb 2013 to Feb 2016). They are in India now.
When they want to extend their visa now I was checking if they qualify for drop box option.
The US visa document website clearly says spouses of L1B are eligible for drop box.
But my company has booked in person interview stating reason that the visa category is changed now and wont be Blanket L2 like the first time when they applied with me instead it will be individual L2.
They are saying that it might get rejected siting the reason that visa category is different.
But I fail to comprehend how an Blanket l1 can turn to individual L1 on extension and how their dependents visa category changes?
Your immediate response will be appreciated very much. Planning to book the tickets this weekend.
