L1 visa extension

[vaibhavss]

Hi,
I am in US on L1-B visa which expires in Jan-2013. I am on blenket petition. My old petition expired in dec-2010, my company filed for blenket petition extension and got approved an infinite L1 petition. What should I do to stay here in US. Do I need to file visa extension or there is any other process.

Please suggest.

Thanks
Vaibhav

I am US since JAN 2010.

Till when is your I-94 valid? If it is expiring within next 6 Months your company needs to file for your extension before I-94 expiry if they need to keep you beyond Jan 2013. If your I-94 is valid for more then that then no need to file for extension currently. Whatever be the case, if for any reason you leave US after Jan 2013, you have to get a fresh stamping done outside US to re-enter. This is my opinion not legal advice.
