Hi All ,
I am currently on L1B visa valid till Mar 09.
I can apply for renewal for the same in Sep 09 and wanted to check if there would be any issues as if i travel to india and return on the old petition in oct-nov 08 (in case the renewal is still pending).
Will my return on the old petition cancel my L1 renewal petetion ?
I am trying to get the L1 renewed as soon as possible so that i can file for EAD renewal for my spouse.
Any views would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Not advisable to apply for L1 extension now. You should do it after you are back from India. That is because, they will also extend your I-94 when you apply for extension (i.e the L1 extension approval notice will list your current I-94 number).
You would'nt want to end up in a state where you leave the country and return your current I-94 at the airport and CIS approves an extension on that I-94 (which you no longer have).
When you return, you will have a different I-94 that will be valid till Mar 09 and you have to file for extension again with that I-94. Alternately, you may go out of the country to get a new visa stamp before Mar 09 and re-enter with that visa stamp and get a new I-94...
convoluted, isnt it? Better to make that trip, come back, get a new I-94 and use that to extend your status.

belmontboy ,
I am in same boat.. I am going mumbai india in feb for stamping. Where are you going for stamping. I heard lately that there is no way we can pre check PIMS. I have asked my lawer but haven't got reply yet.. If you lawer has sent duplicate copy of H1b document to Kentucky Visa center then there should not be issue.( 99.99 % should be safe ).. If not then there is risk involved.
Do you know how a lawyer can send the duplicate copy to Kentucky visa center, my h1 got approved 3-4 weeks ago, can we still send the duplicate copy to kentucky visa center ??? Did you do that ??

Just relialized I may be influenced by my own zipper picture (http://www.dphoto.us/forumphotos/data/876/ZipItBlack_2806.jpg)... I guess it shows how my brain is pre-programmed for certain patterns. :)
