Hi
I am in USA in L1-B visa from Apr 2005. I heard that I can stay upto 5 years on L1-B visa and can apply for L1-A and stay for 2 more years(total of 7 years stay in L1 category).
My visa was issued on Apr 2005 and I came here on July 2005. While calculating the total stay period of 5 years, Do I need to take from Apr 2005 or from the period of arrival (July 2005) and in between July 2005 and now(Mar 2010), I have taken 4 months vacation. So this 4 months of vacation should be included in the total period of stay or we can deduct this?.
Please advice.
Thanks
