Hi All,
I am on L1 (blanket) visa and my visa going to expire in march 2020 but my i94 is valid till March 2021. As per my Company's immigration team, they informed that I don't need an extension since my i94 is valid for more than 6 months from visa expiry.
I heard ppl on L1 visa generally do a short trip to Mexico to extend i94 dates. Also, Few of my colleagues suggest me to cross the border either a day or 2 days trip to Mexico or Canada to the i94 extended for more time.
Is that's the valid scenario and what would be suggestions .
 
What's the logic behind extending an i94 that would not be expiring for another year and a half?
The logic is employees with l1 blanket can work till the end of there i94 and doesn't need to go for visa extension even if it gets expired
