Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

Re: L1 expriation and Visitor visa

If your L1 is expiring in mid-June, you should have already filed an extension. Although your status is considered in their applications, it is not conclusive if you show other evidence. Other evidence could include your renewal and your I-94. Be sure to focus on their ties to their country.

Re: L1 expriation and Visitor visa

Anyone who applies for a visitor visa abroad, is subject to careful scrutiny and may be denied visa to the US for any reason. It is not likely that the US consulate will ask them to produce your visa. Thus, the extension of your L1 will not make any difference for US Consulate.

What they will look for is the following:

1. How well are your in-laws settled/established in their country;

2. Is it likely that they will come to the US and not return?

3. Do they have assets (home, money, material possessions, jobs, etc.) and can they take care of their own expenses while traveling to the US.

4. Are they likely to become a financial liability for the US (i.e., use public resources, etc.)

5. Are they healthy, free from communicable diseases?

There are many other issues involved, including some having to do with national security.

Lastly, if you and your family intend to stay here in US indefinitely, then you should try to become a lawful permanent resident (getting a green card.)

Good luck and let me know if you need representation.
