My L1 visa and I-94 both will expire on July 30 2010. My employer is applying for Blanket petition renewal. It is suggested to go to Canada or Mexico and come back before I-94 expires so that I-94 can be extended to another 2 or 3 years even though L1 B visa expires soon. Some of my colleagues came to US recently with the same L1 B visa with the same expiry date but they got I-94 for 3 years. Will I be getting I-94 for another 3 years once I come back from Canada or Mexico? Please advice. Thanks in advance.

If your extn is not approved, what is the use of going to Canada/Mexico?
And why would they give new I-94?
If your extn is approved, you'll get new I-94 along with approved petition (I-797), in which case you don't need to go anywhere.
You can continue to work. -
Incase if extention takes time from the date of expiry, Am I permitted to stay in US until I get new I-94 with approved petition?Originally posted by sk4ih View PostComment

Yes. If the extension gets approved, then the approval will come with a new I-94 and you are all good. However, if the extension is denied, then your stay past the I-94 expiry will be treated as illegal stay. This is why you should apply for the extension 6 months in advance instead of waiting till the last minute.
