L1A/L2 Additional information required (221(g))

[Krysalgir 0]

Hi.

 

My wife is being transfered to the US via a L1A visa. We had the interview last week at the US ambassy, where  we discovered the attorney didn't fill the I-129S correctly...

The officer gave us back our docs and passport and a 221(g) letter asking for additional docs (a I-129S correctly filled).

We asked them to the attorney and received them quite quickly, and we sent the email to the ambassy to unlock the next step.

 

We them received each an email, and that's where it's a bit confusing...

Submit passport,two copies of I-129s and a copy of I797 for visa processing.

And I received a similar email containing

Processor comments 
Submit passport,two copies of I-129s and a copy of I797 for visa processing.

 

My question is... How many of each docs are we supposed to send?

We'll send both our passports in the same courier envelope, and we're arguing whether we should send 2 I-129S and a single I-797 or 3(4 but we only have 3...) I-129S and 2 I-797.

Or any other combination tbh.

My wife thinks only what she receives counts as she's the main visa holder (my email would be in case we send our passports separately).

 

Thanks for your answers

I'm not familiar with L1A/L2 visas but it seems to me I-129s  should be completed by her company (https://www.uscis.gov/working-united-states/temporary-workers/l-1a-intracompany-transferee-executive-or-manager).  

 

Seems like she is also already in the US.  If so, does the following apply?

• Who May File Form I-129S?
• A petitioner with an approved blanket L-1 petition may file Form I-129S to classify a beneficiary, who is outside the United States, as an executive, manager, or specialized knowledge professional.   If the beneficiary is in the United States and a petitioner is requesting a change of status or extension of stay for that beneficiary, the petitioner should file Form I-129S with Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker.

Since your attorney filed the initial, perhaps they can shed light or clarify?
