L-2 to L-1 Visa

Question details

My husband and I work for a large MNC with big presence in US and India. His L1A application has some RFE which he is working on. In case it gets rejected can he move to L2 without leaving the country? Can I apply for his L2 now even though his L1A is under processing? If so how long will it take for it to get approved and come back?

ANSWER

Normally, you can apply for another status only while still in status. Once the existing L-1 term is over, getting a change of status within USA is difficult. You need to discuss your case with your lawyers.
