Kiran Akurati Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Hi, My H1B visa is Valid till Sep 2017 (Visa Stamped) and i got an extension up to Sep 2018 (i 797). In 2016 November I traveled to India and i94 was given up to Jan 2018 as my passport expires then. I applied for my passport renewal. Once i receive my new passport, is there any way i can extend my i94 with out leaving the country or what is the best way to get i94 extension. Kindly please advise. Link to comment

pontevecchio Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Travel to say the Tijuana border(GOOGLE) and make a U Turn at the stiles and return with a new I94 any day before visa expiry in September, 2017. You can travel to Canada if you get the visa for Canada and return after a brief vacation with a new I94 which you must ask for, obviously before visa expiry. Link to comment

Hello there, Can you please tell me if this Mexico border U-turn is an advisable remedy? As I hear there has been bad experiences recently with some scrutinization. Please advice. Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 It is a legal remedy. Nothing wrong with doing this. Link to comment
