H1B Visa approved but Missing I-94 Stamping

[ktata]

Hello,

I got my visa stamped in Mexico recently. But on my way back at the port of entry I did not realize I have to take I-94 port of entry stamp.

Security checked my passport, asked my visa and let me inside USA.

What have to do now. How to get I-94 stamp.

Please let me know.

Thanks,

Ktata

You have presumably used AVR and did not get an I94. Your post is short of details. How far are you from the Mexican Or Canadian Border and when does the current I94 expire?

I live 3 hr away from Mexican border.

My old I -94 which has port of entry stamp got expired 2 years back.

My new one which don't have port of entry stamp is valid until end of 2013.

"My new one which don't have port of entry stamp is valid until end of 2013."

=> Is the the one attached with I797? Now, this is your only valid I94.

There is no difference in POE I94 and I797 I94. Any of them can be used for legal stay.

But there is no stamp of my last entry date in US.

Is that OK?

=> That's OK, as others said you presumably used AVR. Important is you should always have unexpired I94. As said, There is no difference in POE I94 and I797 I94. Any of them can be used for legal stay. Better to discuss with your employer's attorney to make it sure.
