How do I check whether my L-1 Blanket is active?

The most direct way to check whether your L-1 Blanket is active is to look up your entry record, the I-94, available online through the official U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) portal. That record shows the status under which you were admitted and how long that admission is valid.

When you access the CBP portal and enter your details, check two key points:

• Whether your entry was recorded under the correct L-1 status.
• How long you are authorized to stay, as shown in the record.

It is worth cross-referencing that information with the visa stamp in your passport and with the documentation provided by your employer, to make sure everything is consistent. If any discrepancy appears, or if you are unsure about what the record shows, the best course of action is to seek official guidance from CBP and USCIS or consult an immigration professional before taking any steps.
