champswc2011 Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 I am going for H1B stamping next week in Matamoros, Mexico and I am traveling by car to Brownsville, Texas and cross the border by walk. My previous visit to US was on Dec 8 , 2013 by air travel and after that my H-1B is transferred. 1) Where should I hand my current I-94 when crossing the border by walk. I want US to properly record my exit/entry. 2) I-94 printed on I-797 is the one to hand to officer, correct? Thanks in advance! Link to comment

ad2010 Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Since you are going to for H1B stamping ,give ur I-94 to the consulate officer. Link to comment
itsmeusa Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 1. I doubt they would collect your I-94 while walking out to Mexico. 2. Yes. When you enter US, you can hand over your I-94 to IO. I did this once in 2013 at Newark Airport. OR After your return, you can always mail your I-94 to CBP office in London, KY. I did that when I went to Canada and they didn't collect my I-94 even when I almost handed over. Link to comment
ad2010 Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 You need to staple the old I-94 with the extended one (new I-94 in 797) and surrender it to the consulate officer. Link to comment
