Has anyone recently gone through a renewal for an L1 visa in the USA through their work? Do you have to go to your home country for the interview? Looking for intel on current situation given covid travel restrictions. I’m from the UK. I’ve heard renewals are getting rejected if they’re processed in the USA versus the home country.

My firm is currently working on my renewal and doing it form the US as I can’t travel, they told me it would take longer than if you can travel but it’s still allowed.

There wasnt an interview. Just an application and I got caught up in an RFE, so additional materials, but it ultimately passed and got extended. This was pre-covid. I believe its typically seen as a routine exercise. My firm's lawyers handled the application and RFE submission.

Yes, last year. It was pretty smooth. Lawyers submitted extension application to USCIS. After several months, I got paper confirming my extension. I didn’t have to leave US or go for interview.

Similar case, I told my immigration atty that I can't travel as I have a new baby with me and another young one during this pandemic.

Toronto banks: remote or not? They sometimes post jobs where it doesn’t say it’s remote, but no branch/ location/address either. Then you get an interview and they tell you it’s remote/hybrid(1-2-3days, take your pick)/on-site. So, if you work at TD, Scotia, RBC, could you let everybody know in the comments what’s the deal for each? Are you remote, on-site, hybrid of some sort?
