I-94 Expiring Soon..Need guidance

[balakumar514]

Hello Everyone,

 

Here is my scenario:

 

1. My current H1B stamping (went to Vancouver, Canada) on my passport is until September 2017

2. My current I-94 is valid until March 2017 as my current passport gets expired in March 2017

 

So, the CBP officer in Vancouver gave me my I-94 until the last date of my passport which is until March 2017

 

Question:

 

I have renewed my Indian passport and got it till 2026

I have applied for my H1B extension and I got it approved till 2019. The I94 in the new I797 has the dates till 2019

 

Should I go out of the the country in March 2017 to get a new I-94 which will be issued until September 2017 (as I have my stamping till then)

 

I know I need to go for my visa stamping after Sept 2017

 

Can I stay in the country after March 2017 as I have my new H1 petition or Can i go to Canada to extend my I94 till September 2017?

 

Please reply

 

Thanks

Based on Quoted: "I have applied for my H1B extension and I got it approved till 2019. The I94 in the new I797 has the dates till 2019"

You are OK. You do not need to do anything since your current I-94 reflects your H1B petition date.
