H1 B Extension in RFE and I-94 Expired

[rao.kl]

Hello All,

Here is below my case details 

1)  valid H1-B VISA Stamping until  July 2018 

2) Passport & I-94 Expired on Sep 16 2017  -> I have applied for Passport renewal and received new passport on May 07 2017 

3) H1-B I-797 Expired on June 1 2017  -> Employer A had filed for H1-B Extension by  May 30 2017 

I have received RFE on H1-B Extension on Sep 20 2017 , My Employer is struggling to submit necessary supporting documents for the RFE ,  I have received an offer from Employer B on  Sep 25 2017 , Can you please let me know if  I can file an H1-B Transfer to Employer B though my I-94 is expired.

Waiting for your valuable inputs/suggestions as I completely confused and do not know what to do.

 

Thanks in Advance

Since your I-94 is expired, a transfer to another employer is only possible when the  current H1 extension is approved.

Thank you for the reply Joe

I am  skeptical if my current Employer would be able to submit the necessary documents for getting the approval ,  that was the reason i have worked hard in getting the opportunity with the new company.

Can you please let me know  If I could visit the CBP office and request for an I-94 extension and then apply for an H1-B transfer  or  if I have any other options available  

Thank you.

I don't think that would work.

It is already weird that the H1 visa is valid for a year longer than the H1 petition. Did you transfer in between?
