Legal Question in Immigration Law in Florida

Re: H1B I129 Denial and Applying for L1B

Dear Inquirer:

You should only include details that are actually elicited by the inquiries on your new petition.

I recommend that you visit www.hanlonlawgroup.com or email me at [email protected] if you would like to schedule an appointment for a confidential consultation to discuss this matter further.

Re: H1B I129 Denial and Applying for L1B

If your previous H-1B petition is not affiliated with your new L-1B petitioner, the Form I-129 doesn't request whether the beneficiary has even been denied any other classifications. However, other important questions are posed, so I would check with a reputable immigration attorney before trying to complete the form yourself.

Likewise, L-1 Blanket Petitions are only approved if they meet certain requirements (such as having a number of approved L-1A or L-1B petitions for professionals in the past, as well as worldwide operations and possibly gross revenue requirements). So, I would also seriously consider having a qualified attorney for your L-1B petition.

If you are in Miami, please feel free to contact our offices.

Re: H1B I129 Denial and Applying for L1B

Why the I-129 (H1B) was denied, and how it's relevant to a new petition for L-1B? Typically, these two would be unrelated. However, you shall discuss your case with your immigration attorney, the one who prepares the L1B petiiton for you.
