Re: L1A & L2 Visa Experience / Timeline

Did you and your wife have a joint interview for L1A and L2. We are going through the L1A process and was just wondering If the interviews after DS160 filed are joint or separate.

Many thanks

Your company can't force you to stay at home 24/7. The government allows you to go out and food shop so you can at least do that.
It will be a great day when the puns open again :thumbsup:

Re: Vingette Transfer
