freaking_pain Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) Hey folks.. Just wanted to share my experience with you. I recently got a 3 year visa stamping done in Chennai, valid until 2022. However my passport is expiring early 2021. I was under the impression that I will have the I94 date till the passport expiry date only. I traveled yesterday to Amreeeka.. However, on port of entry, to my surprise, the I94 date was entered till the visa expiry date in 2022. Maybe, I was just lucky? Good luck!

Get the passport renewed and carry it with the visa passport from next time. I renewed my passport 2 years in advance just for this reason. Quote Link to comment

I'm going to Canada anyway on a vacation later this year. So, I would've been okay either ways... 🙂 Quote Link to comment

You can choose a reason to renew the passport 1) Change of address on the back of the Passport 2) Change of appearance 3) Adding Spouse name These are unconventional ways of renewing the passport , but it works :) Edited May 1, 2020 by Tjgarla Quote Link to comment
