Legal Question in Immigration Law in Arizona

Re: L1 visa can't be renovated one more time and I might have to leave the country

Dear Inquirer:

If you have an L-1A visa, your company could petition you directly for the green card as a multinational manager/executive. This first-preference petition is exempt from the labor certification requirement, such that you may be eligible to file for adjustment of status right away.

If you have used up 5 years on an L-1B, you could change your status to H-1B potentially and then pursue your green card through labor certification, which would also also allow you to extend the H-1B even beyond your 6th year in the US.

Options after L-1 maxes out

You may be able to get one more year in H-1B status, if you have been in L-1B status till now. H-1B holders can get a maximum of 6 years, so you might be eligible for an additional year, if you meet the requirements for H-1B status.

If this is not an option (and it would only give you another year anyway), you need to change to another nonimmigrant category, if there is one available to you. I can't tell any more from your question, however you can check this link for a synopsis of various nonimmigrant types and requirements: http://www.martinvisalaw.com/nonimmigrant%20visas.html
