Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

Re: If L1(Blanket) stamping is rejected

No, the B-1 doesn't cancel, but you may have a tough time entering with the temporary intent required of B-1s. This is a gray area with no hard and fast rules. It depends a lot on your facts and what you focus on when you are questioned by the Immigration Officer. I am liaison with the Customs and Border Protection for the LA County Bar and have access to the management for LAX airport in charge of all the officers. I know the issues and could let you know the facts of your life that meet the requirements of the B-1 such that the affect of L-1 denial, were that to happen, is minimized.

Re: If L1(Blanket) stamping is rejected

Dear Inquirer:

The denial of an L-1B visa would not automatically result in cancellation of your B-1 visa. Since you intend to work in the US, as evidenced by your application for the L-1; however, you would have to be very careful in seeking admission on a B-1 soon after denial of the L-1B, as a B-1 visa holder should not intend to work in the US.

I recommend that you email [email protected] or visit www.hanlonlawgroup.com if you would like to consult further regarding this matter.
