honestquery Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 Hi I am working for an employer with the EAD granted as a result of my dependent status. I have got a stamped visa on my passport that is valid until December 2020 but when I came to US recently, I was given an I 94 only until April, 2019 since my passport was valid only until then. Now that I have got a new passport in place, how do I get a new I 94 reflecting the admit until date of December 2020? I have never been in this situation in the past and seek your guidance please. I have no plans to travel out of US before April but have got plans in June. A solution to this situation is that my spouse's employer applies for a new I 539 and wait for its approval but I want to know if I can still travel in and out of US with my stamped Visa that is anyway valid until 2020 or I need to wait until I 1539 gets approved?

pontevecchio Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 The next time you return after travel your I94 will be till the expiry of the H1 petition of your spouse. You can go to the Tijuana Border and return with a new I94 after having asked for one. Link to comment

You can just cross the Canada or Mexico border whichever is closer to your location and get the I-94 renewed. It is a easy and quick process. If you apply I-539 then you need to stop working because you cannot work based on a extension receipt since your valid I-94 is expired. You can just stay in US during that time. Link to comment
rohit369 Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Just go to Tijuana, its 2-4 hrs process and you can get a new I-94. Most of the time is the wait in the queue. Link to comment
