Dear madam/sir,
My question revolves around the L1-B Visa. This was issued to me on 02FEB2004 where the petition was sponsored by the company I worked for. The L1-B Visa in my current passport is valid until 28DEC2008.
Around 01DEC2007 I left the sponsoring company and subsequently left the USA around that time. Nor the company nor their immigration attorneys (which assisted me in getting the L1-B) notified USCIS about my resignation at the company.
Now, 6 months later 01JUN2008 the company I left wants to rehire me in the exact same position as I had before. This would be as a W2 employee.
My 4 tier question:
1. Is there any specific process that would notify USCIS that I left the company around 01DEC2007?
2. If there is no specific process for 1. other then the company notifying the USCIS, is the L1-B Visa as such still valid upon being rehired by the same company, in the same position as a W2 employee?
3. Besides 1. 2. does anyone have experience with extended absence in the US? I have been out of the country for about 6 months, what questions or difficulties should I expect or prepare for when trying to enter with the L1-B Visa next month?
4. Does anyone have experience with the time recapture process on the L1-B Visa once the 5 calendar years are up? How difficult is it? What documents should I keep track off?
Thank you!
