Veerendra M Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) Hi, I recently entered into USA on April 8th 2018 on H1-B visa from my old employer (valid until August 25th 2018). The CBP(Customs and Border Protection) Officer stamped my passport with the same date and I-94 website shows the same. - August 25, 2018. I started working for a new employer on May 1st and my I-94 on the I-797A from New employer has a valid date until April 2021. However, my new I-797A was approved on March 27th 2018 which was before my last entry into the USA (April 8th 2018) but I received it only on my first day of new job i.e May 1st 2018. While entering on April 8th I did not have my new I-797A so I gave the CBP officer my old I797-A and they stamped according to that date. So will the I-94 date(April 2021) on my new I-797A take control/precedence over the date on the I-94 website (August 25, 2018) ? or Am I out of status because my CBP I-94 was issued after my USCIS I-94 and my CBP I-94 controls/takes precedence? Please advise. Edited September 5, 2018 by Veerendra M unformatted text Quote Link to comment

Veerendra M Posted September 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 March 27th 2018. But I started working for new employer from May 1st Quote Link to comment
VamArt Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 I believe if the start date on the petition i94 was Aug 28,2018 - Apr 2021 you would have been in good shape, you may want to consult CBP office to see if they can help match the dates. Quote Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 When did you stop working for A? Please inform your current employer of the situation so they can get legal guidance. Quote Link to comment
