basicsbeauty Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Hello everyone, URGENT: Need everyone's inputs on how to proceed. Problem: I-94 expired due to passport expiry with valid H1-B Details: ==================================== H1-B Visa end date: Sep 2017 Passport expiry date: Nov 13 2015 I-94 end date: Nov 13 2015 ==================================== My company lawyer inferred that since I overstayed, my Visa is now invalid. But in various post in this forum say otherwise that Visa is still valid. Questions: 1. Does overstay of I-94 invalidate H1-B visa? 2. Can I got to Mexico and get new I-94 on my way back? 3. Do need to get new Visa? Thanks a lot in advance. Link to comment
jairichi Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Exit and enter US with valid H1B visa (current one), I797, new passport and ask for new I94. Link to comment
basicsbeauty Posted January 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Thanks for the response. So, can I assume my current Visa is still valid? Link to comment

basicsbeauty Posted January 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 UPDATE: - Did the Mexico border dip. - Got new I-94 without any problems. - Justified asking for new I-94 as my passport was renewed. - CPB agent verified { Visa, I-979, Client Letter, Address Proof} - Total time at the agent counter <5 Mins. - Waiting time to get to the agent 3.5 Hrs - Joined queue on Saturday at 4 PM, which is bad time in hindsight. Notes for those who plan to do the same =============================== - There is separate queue just for I-94 Permits - Don't join any other queues. Link to comment
