Question details
I came with B-1 to work until I obtain H-1B (this is B-1 in lieu of H-1 clause that authorize me to work). I was not selected at 2013 H-1B lottery. How long can I stay on B-1: 6 months + one renewal, would the second renewal be granted,I am looking at L-1B as an alternative but I did not complete the one continuous year before coming to US with my employer. Can the company "make up" some months of work abroad to complete the 12 months? How deep are they digging into for L-1B?
No making up please, unless federal prison is a part of our career plan. B-1 in lieu of H-1 is uncertain, but you can keep trying extensions. If the new law for comprehensive immigration reform passes, things could change drastically.
I can thank Mr Rajiv Khanna million times for what nature of practice his firm has. I still have an intangible immigrational problem in US, having business there and not able to go, son is suffering with illness but able to go, very confussed, looking all around for any kind of help. Most of the law firm wanted to get the money before even talking. But when we contacted Mr Khanna's firm, without creating any hurddles, confirmed my personal conference with him and guided me to right direction to try and given me hope to come back again. That was his incredible sevices ever any body can immagine.
