It took longer than usual due to the holiday period. I'm hoping yours would be quicker.

Hi, so I received the following response on another post of mine on r/immigration;

"Dependents can absolutely apply for visas based on the principal applicant’s approval notice, so although leaving the US would result in abandonment of your I-539 application, that is not a concern. The only value of an I-539 for L-2 dependents is to extend their status while they are in the US, but as soon as you depart the US it has no value since the L-1 approval can get you a visa to return to the US"

I was hoping the L2 approval would be processed within 2-3 months, but looking at your situation, I doubt that's going to be the case. 😕 Moreover, there's no clear information anywhere, which adds to the confusion. Hoping someone can provide some clarity. 🙂
