Updating I-94 on passport renewal

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I recently traveled to India and got my visa stamped and returned to US. The new visa validity is till Feb2016. However since my passport is expiring on Feb 2015(5 months from now) i got my I-94 only till Feb2015. I am planning to get my passport renewed. 

 

Once I renew my passport what is the process for getting my I-94 updated to Feb2016(visa validity)? Is there any other way other than having to travel outside of US and coming back to get my I-94 updated?

 

Thanks

Raj

I have a similar situation and I am an Indian citizen. Would a brief travel to Canada (Vancouver) or Mexico enable obtaining a new I94 with validity extended until date of visa expiry ?

 

Yes that should be fine. For canada you need a visitors visa. You can go to Jamaica as well, Indian citizens dont require a visa for jamaica. It would be great vacation as well and you can get a new I94 too.

Hello Everyone,

 

I'm also in somewhat similar situation. Do I also need to travel outside US (Canda or Jamaica) to renew my I94 which is expering before my EAD/AP expiry.

 

Here's my situation:

 

I'm currently on EAD status (AOS; 485-pending) which is expiring on Feb 13th 2015. I went to India last year on December 12th 2013 and came back on Dec 29th 2014. My I94 was stamped for just one year and is expiring on December 28th 2014. I'm already due for extending my EAD/AP which is expiring on Feb 13th 2015.

Do I need to extend my I94 (by filling I539 form or so) or do I need to just file for EAD/AP extension which I can do now (120 days before expiry). What if I did not get EAD/AP before Dec 28th ? In that case, do I need to file for some extension on I-94???

I have to travel to India again in Feb 2015 and would appreciate your feedback since I'm running out of time on I94 extension. I am worried I would run out of status or something similar and face trouble later so I want to stay on the safe side and quickly figure this out.

Please advise !!


Thanks,
