Answer: If an L-1A employee has used up all 7 years of eligibility, or if an L-1B employee has used up all 5 years of eligibility (without securing US Resident Alien "green card" status prior to expiration of the maximum period, or securing adjustment of status interim work authorization), he/she must depart the US and remain outside the U.S for 1 full year. This is a statutory maximum period which does not offer or allow any discretion for extension for any period.

Answer: Regular L-1 status must be extended through the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) Regional Service Center having jurisdiction over the work location. That office extends the I-94 card. After the extension is approved a Consular Visa revalidation can be applied for, to permit international travel. Foreign travel during extension petition processing is not recommended, but may be possible in some cases.

Answer: Any US Company with the requisite relationship to a foreign company may sponsor a qualified employee for regular L-1 Visa. The regular L-1 paperwork is filed with the Regional Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) Center that has jurisdiction over the US geographic area where the candidate will be working.
