Travel to Canada on L1 / L2

[ashwsrin 0]

Hi,

I am currently working in US on a L1 Multiple entry visa. My wife is here on a L2 Multiple entry visa with EAD. We want to visit Canada and want to know if re-entering US will have consequences if any.

1. Does if affect my work authorization in any way upon re-entry to US ?

2. Does it affect my wife's work authorization ? Can she continue to work with her existing EAD or does she need to re-apply ?

3. Will we be issued new I-94 ? Will that affect us in any way ?

Any help on the above is appreciated.

Thanks,

Ashwin

Do you have a valid visa to visit Canada as an Indian citizen?

Good luck

On the first two no; on the third unlikely (as Canada's customs/immigration officers--both at borders and airports--seldom collect I-94's).

The only real question (which C-W asked) is whether you have a valid visitor visa to Canada.

Thanks for your replies. I have started the formalities to apply for a Canadian visa. I was concerned about re-entry.

While Canadian immigration officers may not collect your I-94s, when you return to the US you probably will be re-issued new I-94s although they should be for the same date as your current multiple entry visas. The I-94 is an entry/exit visa so every non-US citizen or Canadian citizen is supposed to receive an I-94 or an I-94W upon entry to the US. They may or may not take your existing I-94s.
