Query on new amendment with expired i94

[Amir_Maner]

Hi,

I am stuck in a situation if anyone can respond if they are aware of such situation it will be helpful:

Case:
1. I have H1B Visa till Aug-2020

2. I have old client petition which is valid till Aug-2020 (same as Visa date)

3. I came to US on amended petition and my amended petition got expired on 31-Dec-2018 (which I came to know last week)

4. I-94 validity date on passport is Aug-2020 and also government website is having same date

Question:
For the above scenario below are my questions:

1. Is my I-94 still valid?

2. Can I file amendment with my current client while staying in US?

3. Is my old petition still valid (as amended petition is approved) ?

4. If old petition is valid then can I go back to my old client who’s petition is valid until Aug-2020?

Suggestions appreciated. Please let me know if more clarification is required.

Thanks,

Confusing info is provided here. Looks like your latest i94 wasn't issued based on latest petition but was issued based on your visa.

1. Doesn't look like it. Does the latest/ amended petition has an i94 attached it it ? If your latest approved amended petition and attached i94 has expired with no timely filed extension or change of employer in progress, your online i94 is not valid anymore. 

2. Yes but it will probably be approved under consular processing because of 1.

3. Depends on if you have a job and you are getting paid based on old petition. Doesn't look like you are.

4. See 3. 

It is of paramount importance that you consult a competent lawyer for in depth review of your case.

Hello:

• I had a valid H1B Extension approved till August 2020 (I-94 valid till August 2020)
• Due to a location change(NJ to AZ), H1B Amendment was filed in June 2018.
  • It got approved and Notice sent on on Jan 30th, 2019 but with a validity only until 31st Dec 2018.
  • An I94(which is same number from previous H1-B) was also present at the bottom of the form with an expiry date of 10th Jan 2019 ( I guess they gave 10 day grace period).

Can you please let me know whether I am out-of-status now? My employer indicated that he will soon (by Feb mid) file for H1B extension. Please let me know if my stay is legal until then or I need to leave india immediately??

 I never been to stamping once i got H1-B approved from F-1 status on Nov 2017. My current project extended till Dec 2019 where i got amendment approval for same client till Dec 2018.

Thanks for your time!

What should i do please help me

Thanks,
