L1A Clarification on Recapturing Lost Time for L1-A Extension

Hi,

I am currently on an L1-A visa, which was issued in January 2020. I entered the U.S. in April 2021, resulting in a 15-month period where I wasn’t in the country. My employer is now filing for my second 2-year extension (the first was filed in 2022), and I would like to know if they can include the lost time in this application.

Is it legally possible to request the recapture of the lost period along with the standard 2-year extension? Or can the lost time only be recaptured after both extensions have been used? I would appreciate your prompt guidance on this matter.

Thank you for your assistance.
