Where to get I 94 corrected?

[archana_alatkar]

Hi,

 

I got my I 94 until April 29 2015 as my passport is set to expire on May 01 2015 during my re-entry to the USA.

But I got my passport renewed after my re-entry. 

Where should I get my I 94 extended since I have I 797 until 2017? But I have my visa until Sep 2015.

Is it possible to get the I 94 extended until the validity of I 797 instead of my visa without crossing the border?

 

Thanks!

You have to cross the border. Exit and enter US with a valid visa and I797 and insist on getting a new I94.

Actually, I called the Customs and Border Protection Seattle (my local city) and they advised me to email them a request to get my I 94 amended with required copy of documents.

They amended my I 94 within 24 hours of my email and the latest I 94 is valid until the expiry of my I 797

 

Thanks,

Archana

You were extremely lucky that the CBP Office in Seattle choose to disregard their own rules. This should not in any way or form be given the notion that this is possible.

Thanks for the update. You are lucky to get it done this way as normally CBP does not entertain these types of requests.

Hi Archana, Can you pass on the email id where you have been asked to send the details. You can mail it to  sanjay.gudi@gmail.com

i94.correction.seattle@cbp.dhs.gov

 

I was asked to send copies of the below:

 

 

1. Biographical pages of old and renewed passports  (No other pages)

2. Visa page
3. I-94 card  (They didn't ask for this, but I sent it anyways)
4. Form I-797 Approval Notice 

 

I used "I-94 amendment"  as my email title

 

Thanks,

Archana
