Hi,
I initially got my L1B visa and PED in 2013 valid for 3 years. After 3 years L1B visa in 2016, my company suggested me to get fresh L1B visa from Canada instead of renewing. I got fresh L1B valid till 2020 in Canada, however PED is 2018. As I would be completing 5 years with L1B visa(s), I would need to go back to India in 2018 as per the provided PED.
As my visa is stamped till 2020 and considering the fact that I will not utilize the whole 5 years visa (with my second visa stamp), I have following questions.
1) Can I utilize the pending 2.5 years visa(new stamping) post the cool off period?
2) If yes, does it involve visa interview to extend the petition?
Please help. Thanks in advance.
