Hi 8老师,事态紧急啊,我简单说一下我L1B转L1A的情况,跪求8老师帮忙分析一下该如何做。
我L1B签证5年期满,4个月前开始申请L1A签证。7月份收到REF补交材料,第二次补交后,刚刚查到,USCIS拒绝了我的L1A申请。
我L1B工作许可在8.31号已经到期,想问一下接下来该如何操作?
1. 我的身份是不是立刻不合法了?有多长时间必须离境?
-You have been out of status since your L-1B reached the 5 year limit.
我的I94时间显示是到2019年,这表明可以留在美国吗?
-It seems USCIS/CBP officer mistakenly issued the I-94 duration over the 5-year L-1B limit. Nomrally, if you have an unexpired I-94, then your presence in US is not counted as unlawful presence although you are out of status. But because your I-94 duration is not normal, I have no idea. You had better consult an experienced immigration lawyer.
2. 可不可以提起上诉?
-Yes, you can file I-290B. Talk to your lawyer.
上诉的条件是什么?成功的概率有多大?
-Depends on what the denial reason is.
上诉之后有多长时间可以留在美国?-You can stay in US legally during the I-290B pending, but if you fails, the unlawful presence (if any) will be counted form the date when your L-1A application was denied.
期间可以工作吗?-No.
3. 如果上诉失败,会不会影响下次来美国?如果一年以后再申请L1A,会不会受上诉失败的影响?
4. 如果必须离境,可不可以立即申请B1来美国?
-Techincally, yes. But whether you can get the B-1/B-2 visa depends on whether your application reason to convince the VO as everyone does.
会不会影响以后L1A签证的申请?-No.
5. 我家人现在以L2身份在同一公司工作,没有在中国总部的工作经历,能不能给她立即申请L1B?
-Depends on whether she is qualified for the L-1B. No law limits her to do that. Consult a lawyer.
