Hello,
My fiance is in US on L1B visa valid until April 2021. I am a canadian PR and our wedding is supposed to be on Dec 1st. We both are indian nationals. We had few questions regarding L1B extension and L2 visa application.
1) Does he have to leave US to apply for extension?
2) Since the company can apply 6 months before visa expiry- so in october, will he be able to leave US for wedding while extension application is in process?
3) How long does L1B visa extension process take place?
4) Will it be safer for him to apply for extension first and then me applying for L2 visa? Or if we get married in december- should I apply for L2 visa after getting marriage certificate and he can apply for his L1B extension in around feb? Would they approve my L2 keeping in mind his L1B will be valid for just few another months?
5) Can he apply for extension after the wedding and include my application for L2 there? Since we will be in India at that time, and embassies there are also currently taking emergency appointments only, will he still be ok in returning to US in january (his visa valid till April), and me accompanying on my Visitor B2 visa and then we apply L1B extension and L2 visa from US?
6) For L2 visa interview and biometrics, can I go to new york consulate? I am an indian national but currently residing in canada for 6 years. Embassies in Canada are currently taking emergency appointment only. I have B2 visa to come to US.
Please advise.
sorry for so many questions, just figuring out different options. Thanks very much in advance!
