Hello All,
I am on L1B Individual VISA, which is expiring by May 2018 and also Petition (I-797B) end date is same as VISA end date - May 2018.
Whereas I have got the I-94 until 2020. I have few questions, need your inputs:
1. Some of my friends and colleagues told, it is valid to stay in I-94 even after the VISA is expired. Also, I heard cases like people had stayed like that. Is that correct for L1 Individual also?
2. I don't have any plans to travel before May 2018, if above is not the case, when I would have to apply for the extension, I am yet to discuss with my employer on the same.
3. Some were telling like, one should have to apply for the extension when Petition (I-797B) expires, should not stay without applying for the extension.
P.S: I have seen a couple of threads with a different type of VISA, not sure if that works with L1B Individual, so wanted to raise another one.
Thanks.
