How long I can stay in US after divorcing with L1 visa holder(I'm a L2visa holder)?How can I still stay in US legally after divorce with L1?

The L-2's presence in the US is dependent upon the principal L-1 visa holder. Where there is a divorce, there is a severing of the dependent relationship. You are not allowed to stay in the US legally after the divorce unless you hold some other type of nonimmigrant status. However, that being said, illegal presence for purposes of the 3 and 10 year bars would only begin to run after the date of expiration on the L-2 paperwork. If you remarry (assumedly to a US citizen), you would not be precluded from applying for adjustment of status to permanent residence. As you entered the country legally, adjustment of status would still be available even if you became illegal for years in the country. After such remarriage, the US citizen would petition for you and your application with U.S.C.I.S. on form I-485 would be sufficient to notify the agency of your intentions.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
