Travelled with new petition but I-94 was issued on old petition

[kumar92]

Hi All,

 

I changed company in Feb 2014. I was needed to go to India for emergency so I went with the new petition which has valid I-94 until Jan 2017. In my passport I have visa stamp with previous company valid until Jan 2015. When I was returning through JFK, I had the new petition in hand which has valid I-94 but at CBP did not ask that. I was told in the visa breifing session that do not give any document pro-actively until they ask for it. Keeping this in mind, I too did not show the new petition.

 

I was under the impression that the officer know the change of employer and would have noticed the new I-94.

 

When we went to DMV for my wife's in August 2015, they told we do not have valid I-94. I immediately contacted attorney and they are filling the extensions. I got an RFE on that to explain the whole story.

 

When I was discussing with one of my friend about the problem, he told he called local CBP office and got the correction but he has delay of 1 week. He suggest me to go local CBP.

 

So, please can you suggest me whether going to local CBP will benefit because in my case I have 10 months delay or Shall I wait for Visa extension approval? Any other suggesstions?

 

Thanks,

You can try but it is never guaranteed. You are looking at a ban to be in US. Did you talk to your attorney about nunc pro tunc?
