L1B Expired looking for options

[vijay_r_leo]

Hi,

I was in US on L1B for about 4+ yrs between Jun-2006 till May-2010. I had to relocate back to India during May-2010 since my assignment didn't get extended. My L1B got expired during May-2011 and now all I have got is B1 valid till 2015.

My son is a US citizen 3.6 yrs old and want to get back to US before he starts his regular school. Looking for any kind of options available for me to relocate back to US.

Any pointers would be highly appreciated.

Thanks ...

Regards
Vijay

I am assuming that you would want to work also in US. In that case B1 would not be advisable.

You can ask your employer to file new L1 petition, if approved you can travel as soon as you get L1 stamping done. OR you can wait till April 2014 for your employer to file a new H1 and if approved after H1 stamping you can work on that H1 from Oct 2014.

This is my opinion not legal advice.
