bkmn Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Hi All, I recently discovered my I94 status which has expired 190 days back along with my old passport. I had got my passport renewed but forgot about I94. After talking to my employer they are filing NPT and i am currently in an inactive employment status. My employer is filing an urgent(expedite) NPT. Meanwhile i am looking for anyone(or anyone you may know) with similar situation in terms of immigration status. What is the success rate for this? Does having labor certification help in anyway ? Also my attorney has asked for hardship details. Does this help? For the last 1.5 year, i was heads down with my work. I planned to visit Canada for pleasure and China for work but couldn't go because of work - i have visa to these countries on the new passport Thanks Bharath Link to comment
jairichi Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 You never had any hardship from what you mentioned as performing work is a duty & not hardship. Ability to apply for visa to other countries to visit for pleasure but not takibg care of your status in U.S. might work against you. You are probably looking at a 3 year ban. You might be lucky not to get so. Link to comment
aknauni Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 I have somewhat similar situation. I was working with company A. My H1b (I-797) is Valid from 10/01/2013 Until 09/01/2016. I move to company B My H1b (I-797) is Valid from 02/04/2014 Until 02/03/2015. went to India and got Visa Stamping. (08/25/2014) I moved back with company A. they did not terminate my H1 which is valid till 2016, they thought of using the same H1 till 9/1/2016 . Today (09/22/2015) When I entered my details to get I-94 details it shows admit until date 2/3/2015. Is my staus Illegal ? if yes, What do i have to do to resolve the issue ? Please suggest.

It is illegal for you to join employer A without filing a cap exempt H1B petition as by law employer A should have revoked that H1B petition once you left them.Your stay in US after 2/3/15 is illegal as your I94 has expired. You are looking at 3 years ban to enter US. Contact an attorney today to see whether nunc pro tunc is an option. Link to comment
