I worked in the US for 5 years with an L1 visa.
After the 5 years period, I returned to my home country.
I have been informed that I have to stay out of the US for 12 months
before I can be transfered back and have a new L1 that can be renewed for another 5 years.
My question is: Do I have really have to stay out of the US for 12 months?
If I enter the country with a B1/B2 visa with my visit be counted against the 12 months period?
Do I have to be completely away for 12 months?
I letf the US on August 25th 2011. If I go there on May 1st 2012, will I have to wait until May 1st 2013 to apply for a new L1?
Thank you,
Mercia
