L1 B Blanket Visa Extension

[manoj_jindal]

Hi

I am on L1 B Blanket visa. My visa, petition and I94 expired on April 3rd 2017. My company filed for visa extension. I got an RFE. Now shall I respond to RFE or withdraw my application. I heard that it is very very hard and difficult to get L1 B visa extn, so I should withdraw my application rather taking a rejection.

Question - Does rejection impact next visa application?

Regards

if you do not respond to RFE then you have to leave US immediately, rather try you and your employer should try their best to respond to the RFE.

Rejection does not affect any future visa application unless the rejection was due to fraudulent reasons.

This is my opinion not legal advice.
