My L1A individual petition was approved in May 2015 while I was in India and my visa was stamped in June 2015. I traveled to the US in Aug 2015. Now that my L status is expiring, my attorney is preparing the extension application.
While reviewing draft of the extension application, I noticed that in the I-129, the response to ?individual or blanket petition? was marked ?individual? ? however, an I-129S (Nonimmigrant Petition Based on Blanket L Petition) - was also filled out, with a petition number listed under ?provide the receipt number for the Blanket L petition upon which this petition is based?.
When I questioned my attorney about this discrepancy, he responded that since the time I traveled, my company had secured an approval on a blanket L petition and even though my L1A extension petition was individual, it was being filed based upon the blanket L approval.
Does that make sense to anyone? Can an L1A individual extension application be based on a blanket L approval received by the company?
