Need help on L1 Individual petition

[sati_jstdoit]

Hi

In August 2008, my company A applied L1 Individual petition with USCIS. But before knowing petition status, i quit the job and joined another company B.

Due to personal reason, i re-joined old company (Company A)(who applied my L1 individual petition) again. After a year of rejoining, i applied for L1 Blanket, but blanket visa got rejected on may 25th 2010 stating the reason that, my previous L1 Individual petition is in approved status.

So, my questions are,
1. Since i left the company and rejoined again, is my approved l1 individual petition is still applicable (The validity of the approval is till Aug 2011).
2. This approved L1 individual petition is for the same client but the project is different now. Shall i use this petition even for different project?
3. Shall i use the same HDFC receipt which i got rejected on May 25th 2010?
4. And, finally, since i have already faced 2 L1 Blanket rejection, i heard that if visa continuously refused 3 times, then we wont get visa, is that really true?

I am very confused. Please, guide me in that situation.

1. Since i left the company and rejoined again, is my approved l1 individual petition is still applicable (The validity of the approval is till Aug 2011).
>>> Yes.

2. This approved L1 individual petition is for the same client but the project is different now. Shall i use this petition even for different project?
>>> Yes.

3. Shall i use the same HDFC receipt which i got rejected on May 25th 2010?
>>> No. You will need a need receipt. That receipt is for the L1 blanket visa that got rejected.

4. And, finally, since i have already faced 2 L1 Blanket rejection, i heard that if visa continuously refused 3 times, then we wont get visa, is that really true?
>>> Possible.

Thanks a lot shervin for the information.

In today's L1 Blanket rejection, the visa officer gave me a blue slip of 221g but inside this 221 g sheet, he ticked the statement that "Your visa is not clearly approval under section 8 CFR 214.2(I)(ii)(D) and INA 101(a)(15)(L)."

I do not understand whether the visa was rejected under 221g or this 214.2(I)....?

Also, please let me know that, i called chennai consulate today, they said, i can reapper with the same HDFC receipt any time between Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday with my approved l1 individual petition? If this is the case, where shall i confirm that whether i need a new receipt or old one before attending the interview again?

Please provide your valuable information

If that is what VFS helpdesk told you, then I would go by their words. Normally a receipt used for one visa cannot be used for another one. But i your case, it looks like they want you to appear again with the L1 individual petition. Get a written confirmation from VFS and go ahead with the same receipt number again.

Thank you very much. I will confirm with VFS office and update you once attended the interview. Thanks once again!
