L1B visa RFE

[mut 0]

I'm positing ths query again with more info for clear picture...

Got Visa - April 2008

Visa Exp Date - 13th April 2011

I94 Exp Date - 13th April 2011

Arrived US - 23rd May 2009

My husband is in L1B visa(blanket).we came to US after 1yr 1 mn from the date we received Visa.our visa & I94 expired on same date 13th april 2011,we applied for extension & received RFE on aug 2011.we still have time till 20th sep 2011 to answer RFE.

We came to know that 1yr 1mn out of US period can be recaptured by applying extensions,period out of US is not considered towards 3yrs visa limit.without knowing this clause we applied for extension in normal procedure & dint mention that out of US (1yr 1mn) period anywhere.

My doubt is can we get this 'out of US period' alone extended without getting into trouble answering RFE, bcoz possibility of RFE getting rejected ismore.Or while answering RFE can we attach a separate document requesting for extending this 'Out of US' (1yr 1mn) period,so this period wont go waste????

Pls reply..urgent advise needed...
