I'm on L1-A Managerial Visa and my L1-A Ext case got denied. Could you clarify

1) Looking for alternate options to continue legally. Whether my Employer could initiate H1-Exempt for the remainder of the period of current L1-A Visa

2) Family L2 Ext status is still in-prog. Although their I94 expired in Nov 2019, however their 240 days legal stay eligibility period is until July 2020. Could my 2 kids & wife could continue to stay until end of school year to complete their current class exams?

A: Your employer can discuss and review with the company’s immigration attorney the possibility of filing an appeal of the L-1 denial depending on the reasons for the denial. Perhaps the denial can be reversed.

If the L-1 status is denied then the L-2 status will also be denied and your spouse and children will no longer be in status.

You can visit with a private immigration attorney to discuss options for filing another non-immigrant status such as the H-1B, E-2, etc.

Good luck to you.
