I94 Admit until date

[VLAD02]

I got my visa extended till  June 2017.

 

I went to India this summer and got my H1b extension.

 

On the paper I94, the expiry date is Jun 2017.

However the admit until date on I94 website is Oct 2015.

(My passport expires in Oct 2015).

 

 

Is the passport expiry date reason for the I94 admit until date  to be less than that on paper?

 

Also if I reissue my passport, will I94 admit date be automatically updated?

 

If anyone has any idea on this, please reply.

 

Thanks

The admission can only be until the visa expiration or passport expiration, whichever comes earlier.

Once you renew your passport, you can go to a CBP office in the US (they are at the big airports) and get the I-94 extended.

Nothing is automatic.

Yes, your passport expiry date is the reason for getting an expiry date of Oct 2015.

Once you renew your passport your I94 does not extend automatically. You need to exit and enter US with a valid H1B visa and I797 to get new extended I94.

Yes. Once passport is renewed, you need to exit and re-enter US to get the I-94. Please do so well before Oct'15.

Does that I94 admit until date the last day I can legally work in USA?

 

I mean if I do not travel to India till Oct 2015 and the I94 admit date stays the same as it is now, will that create any issue?

 

Thank you guys for your earlier responses and please throw some light on the above scenario.

1. Yes.

2. No issue.

I-94 gives you legal stay in US. Once it expires, you can no longer stay in US.

H1b petition gives you authority to work in US as long as I-94 is valid.
