i-94 Online vs i797

[rajiv460]

Hi 

 

Here is my situation.

On first h1 b 

Returned  from India in feb 2014 and my i94 was given till feb 2016. I hahave h1b stamped till March 2016.

 

I applied for H1b extension in feb 2016 and got it approved on the same i94 number till oct 2018. I now also have a new passport as i applied for passport extension too.

 

Online i94 still shows the date with my old passport Feb 2016 while my h1b extended i94 shows oct 2018. 

 

Just worried if I am out of status. Not sure which one to look at.

 

Please help.

No need to worry, that online I94 is updated only when you are at POE.

Dont worry, below is what happens.

 

Since you have filed your extension from with in US, the I-94 provided on I-797 copy supersede the I94 of online.

 

Next time when you cross the US border and come back, your online I94 will be updated with the petition end date at POE.
