I-94 extention after renewal of passport and valid H1B visa

[jadhav80]

Hi,

I have doubt regarding I-94. I came to US on Dec 2010 on H1B visa which is valid till sept. 2013.

So i was having I-94 till sept. 2013. but after one year dec 2011. i went to India for attending family function.

While returning back in dec. 2011 they give my I-94 only till Feb 2013 because my passport is going to expired in Feb 2013.

But my visa is valid till sept 2013. So i apply for renewal of passport and received today.

Now i want to update my I-94 so that i can stay till sept 2013.

I just want to know the process to update I-94 and who is going to do that?

Shall i go to port and update I-94 or it has to be done through company lawyer?

Please let me know.

By all means talk to the company Lawyer. Cross the Canadian or Mexican Border and immediately return and come back with a new I94. YOU HAVE TO ASK.

You go to CBP and ask for new form I-94 based on a form I-94 issued at CBP. Go with all your documents, they will provide with no issues. No need to take lawyer for this.

Generally the CBP will not correct I94,s issued till passport expiry. One needs to follow the previous advice or have the company refile the H1 petition.

Hi Jadhav, Where are you from? I stay in Bay Area. I found that only solution is to go to Mexico border and come back immediately. If you want we both can go as my i 94 expires on feb 2013 and my h1 visa valid till sept 2014. Call me at 848 220 0725 for further discussion we can travel by car. It is 8 hour journey one way.
