What is the resumption of the overseas date of the US L/KLOC-0 visa?

Since the L- 1 visa holder does not need to work for the American branch full-time and can freely enter and leave the United States, can the L- 1 visa holder recover the time outside the United States to extend the validity of the L visa? On June 265438+1October 2 1 day, 2005, the US Immigration Bureau issued a memorandum entitled "Calculation Method of Maximum Validity of H- 1B and L- 1 Visa". The memorandum answers how to recover the time spent outside the United States by the holders of H- 1B or L 1 during the validity period. According to the memorandum, foreigners need to apply to the Immigration Bureau and submit evidence of their stay outside the United States within the legal validity period of H- 1B or L 1, then any stay proved outside the United States should not be counted in the validity period of H- 1B or L 1 visa. In addition, L-2 family members are also eligible to recover any L 1 holder's recovery time.

L- 1 The maximum validity of a visa is seven years. When their L- 1 visa expires, foreigners need to live outside the United States for at least one year before they are allowed to re-enter the United States as L- 1 or other identities. However, according to the law, any time spent outside the United States during this period can be counted as valid. In this way, when foreigners need to extend their L 1 status, they can "request to take back all the days they stayed outside the United States and add the validity period". The definition of a whole day here is 24 hours. As for the purpose of visa holders going abroad, it will not affect the recovery. At any time, at least 24 hours a day, whether for business or leisure, they can recover.

In order to successfully restore the identity of H 1B or L- 1, the holder of H 1B or L 1 needs to apply to the Immigration Bureau, put forward the exact time when he was not in the United States, and show evidence that he was indeed abroad during this period. These evidences include I-94 entry and exit records, entry and exit stamps on passports, air tickets, accommodation receipts outside the United States and so on. Generally speaking, the most powerful proof is the entry and exit stamp on the passport, but the customs may not stamp it in the order of pages, and sometimes the time of stamping will be vague, so the best way is to print out all the pages of the passport, and we will also suggest making the entry and exit records into tables for the convenience of immigration officers. In addition, you can also provide ticket stubs with travel time, credit card records or receipts for going abroad, and hotel receipts with names and dates. The more materials you can collect to prove that this person is not in America, the better. Because there is no procedure for requesting evidence, RFE) In the application for recovery, the more sufficient and clear the materials you can provide, the more powerful the recovery will be for the beneficiary.

If Mr. Wang, the holder of L- 1 visa in the United States, returns to China for 20 days within the validity period of L- 1, the validity period of L- 1 can be extended by 20 days accordingly, provided that Mr. Wang shows relevant certificates, such as I-94 card, passport stamp, air ticket, etc. Whether Mr. Wang returned to China for work or personal purposes will not be considered, as long as he can prove that he did leave the United States during this period.
