QUESTION
Can we stay in the USA while waiting for the result of our visa application?
Asked on Sep 25th, 2014 on Immigration - Texas
More details to this question:
My husband applied for H1 to L1a visa. Our I94 expires on October 3rd. Can we stay until we know the decision? Will staying create a problem for our next entry in the US? Will it be a problem for H4 dependents?
2 ANSWERS
It is all right to wait for the decision on the change of status. Is the husband maintaining H-1B status with the current employer? Was that approval extended? Did the dependents apply for change of status to L-2 at the same time as the H to L change of status?

Your husband might be OK to remain on these facts, but for the dependents, it will depend upon whether they filed an I-539 to extend their status too.
