urgent clarification

My husband visa and i94 has been expired so my husband's company has filed for extension.So he will be getting his i94 after extension is approved. I am l2 Dependent and my visa also got expired and i have i 94 till 2013.
My doubt is:
1.Due to personal emergencies i am going to India and planning to come back by march.In that case i don have l2 visa as it is expired.Can i reapply the l2 visa from India for coming back.Can these be done even though my husband will be having i94 and no visa.

please throw your thoughts on this.Thanks in advance.

You will need your spouse's extension approval notice to apply for your L2 Visa.

You will need your spouse's extension approval notice to apply for your L2 Visa.

L1 extensions are taking from 45 days to few months if not applied in premium. If there is an RFE it may take longer. As Kabkaba mentioned without getting L1 extension approved you cant go for L2 stamping. Your spouse can expedite the extension process by asking employer to upgrade to premium processing.

This is my opinion not legal advice.
