Is it true that L1B extensions get rejected and more so lately ? My
company is filing for an L1B extension with only 2 months to go. I thought it was just an administrative thing that a company is allowed to extend the visa and immigration would automatically grant it.

Yes. Any application can be rejected.


There's nothing that really supports this assertion one way or the other.


Nothing is automatic where US immigration is concerned.

There is a principal movement of the USCIS to scrutinize L1B abd L1a applications because of obvious abuse by some offshore companies.

Reasons:

The US government mainly protect american jobs for american's and permanent residents.
This leads to more RFE's and rejections. However every case is different

and if company has a solid documentation you will be fine.

Kind regards

Well as I work for a large american multinational company I'm guessing the visa extension should, in theory go through ok, so there should be no real surprises.

Thanks for the comments.

Yeak you will fine. I did the same for my L1A and the process was a really smooth ride . I didn't extend but I also didn't receive a RFE or anything else

Kind Regards
