H1B Amendment - Approved with Expired I94

[RajanK]

Hello:

• I had a valid H1B Extension approved till March 2019 (I-94 valid till March 2019)
• Due to a location change(California to PA), H1B Amendment was filed in May 2018.
  • It got approved on Jan 8th, 2019 but with a validity only until 31st Dec 2018.
  • An I94 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 Jan end) file for H1B extension. Please let me know if my stay is legal until then? 

Thanks for your time!

Regards

Raj
