An immigration officer will stamp Form I-129S after it has been filed and accepted by the US Consulate. This stamp displays the L-1 expiration date and grants L-1 status. Applications that are accepted are typically given three years of legal status.
The Petition Expiration Date (PED) may be found in the lower right corner of the passport page where the L-1 visa is stamped. The date provided on Form I-129S by the Consulate should correspond with the PED. In rare circumstances, the PED may occur fewer than three years after the visa was awarded if the employer’s “Blanket L” petition expires before the usual three-year timeframe.
Date of travel expiration: This date, which appears in the center of the sheet stamped with the visa, designates the final day that an L-1 employee may visit the United States on a valid visa.
I-94’s expiry date: An electronic I-94 Arrival/Departure record is issued by immigration officers to L-1 employees upon their entry into the United States. In addition to the I-94 number, the “admit until” date serves as the record’s expiration date. This date and the date on Form I-129S (PED) should match. To ensure that everything is in order, you must get in touch with your attorney if there is a discrepancy.
Due to Blanket L visa expiration dates, the following circumstances may occur:
I-94 expires after the expiration date of I-129S: When someone is admitted to the country on an L-1 visa by US Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) and their I-94 “admit until” date is issued after the PED’s or Form I-129S’s expiration date, it is seen as a mistake. The individual should apply for an L-1 extension based on the Form I-129S expiration date, as it takes precedence over the “admit until” date in certain situations.
Prior to the expiration of I-129S, I-94 expires: The entry of a person into the country on an L-1 visa by CBP is regarded as an error if the I-94 “admit until” date is issued before the Form I-129S or PED expiration date. It is necessary for the person to ask for an I-94 correction. Applying for an extension of L-visa status before the I-94 expiration date is required if CBP does not fix the error. Even in cases where the date of the passport expiration coincides with the I-94 expiration date and is earlier than the Form I-129S expiration date, this does not constitute a CBP error.
PED expires prior to the I-129S expiry date: The employer’s USCIS-approved “Blanket L” petition is likely to expire before the three-year status typically granted to L-1 visa applicants if the PED on an L-1 visa expires before the I-129S expiration date. The L-1 visa expiration date is the date on Form I-129S, if there is a discrepancy.
