Q: My L1A visa will expire in June 2020. Assuming COVID restrictions continue- will I get a temporary extension?
EB1 I-140 approved, but waiting for PD(India)
A: You will not automatically get an extension. You still must file the extension and have it be received by USCIS before the expiration date. USCIS is still processing petitions.
A:
Your employer should timely file the FORM I-129L prior to expiration of your L-1A status. If you are not eligible to extend your current status in that you have reached the statutory limit for L-1A status, you may be able to request another status if the COVID -19 crisis persists and you are not able to travel abroad due to travel restrictions.
Hopefully your priority date will soon become current and you can proceed to file the FORM I-485.
Good luck to you.
