I 94 expired due to passport expiration.

[Sailaja Ventrapragada]

Hi All!!

My daughter & me traveled to India recently & came back to US on Aug 23, 2018. At the port of entry ( SF0) she was given I 94 date as her passport expiry date which is till July 2019 but she has a valid I 797 till Dec 2019. So please let me know the ways I can extend her I 94 so that she doesn’t go out of status. 

Thanks & Regards

Umm.. start off by renewing her passport early next year.

She can apply for extension of status with I-539. Or she can leave the US and re-enter with a new passport (along with the existing visa on old passport).

[pontevecchio]

Passport renewal can be done up to one year in advance.

Her I-797 is type A or type B?

If it is type A, she should have new I-94 attached to I-797. If not, then you can renew passport and following I-539 route as mentioned above.
