Can a L2S dependent spouse enter the US if L1 visa holder is in India? We both have valid stamping in our passports.

Your question is not fully clear.

If this is the first time you are entering on L2S - No, you cannot enter without L1.

If you were in USA earlier, went out for something & want to return, yes, you can.

We have already entered the US last year and have been staying here since then.

The question I have is when we go to India for a vacation can the L2 visa holder enter the US if L1 visa holder is still in India and planning to come back a bit later.

Yes, a L2S dependent spouse can enter the US if the L1 visa holder is in India, as long as both of you have valid stamping in your passports.

The L2S visa is a non-immigrant visa for spouses of L1 visa holders. L2S visa holders are allowed to live and work in the US for the duration of their spouse's L1 visa.

To enter the US on an L2S visa, you will need to present your valid passport with L2S visa stamping at the port of entry. You may also be asked to show proof of your relationship to the L1 visa holder, such as a marriage certificate.

Here are some tips for entering the US on an L2S visa:

• Make sure that your passport and L2S visa stamping are valid.
• Have proof of your relationship to the L1 visa holder, such as a marriage certificate.
• Be prepared to answer questions about your travel plans and your relationship to the L1 visa holder.
• Be polite and respectful to the customs and border protection koows officer.
