Long story short.

I was granted my L1A visa under my companies initial 3 year blanket petition.

This has since been replaced and is indefinite.

Every time I get to POE they look at my VISA and see the original PED and say its not valid even though I show them evidence that the blanket petition has been renewed.

I try to explain but for obvious reasons don't push the point and last two times I've had to go to secondary which after a 7 hour flight isn't nice.

So to avoid this hassle going forward I was going to request a new visa stamp, in line with my approved I-129S. However no sure how straight forward that is, i.e. will I need to go through the whole application process again with a new DS-160.

This happened to anyone else before?

Thanks

Yes, you will need new DS160 as having that allows you to book appointment

FYI
IF you are thinking about London, the embassy moves soon to a new site
