tsing Posted January 4, 2013 Report Posted January 4, 2013 Hello all, I have tried to read several posts in the forum related to my issue and am about to take some action. I thought I would post here and take suggestions from this forum on my sepcific approach regarding my case. I filled for my 2nd H1 B extension and received a I-797B, without an I-94last month. Apparently my employer missed to attach the first page of my Passport hence USCIS sent a I-797B stating that the petition for H1-B is approved but 'the extension of stay' is not since they could not determine the validity of my PP. Case facts: My current I-94 and H1-B stamping is valid till Feb 28, 2013. New issued I-797B is valid through Oct 2015. I am on FT employment with a Government agency, for past 3.5 years. I need a new I-94 to continue my stay past Feb 28, 2013. Questions: I want to try my options to get a new I-94 without leaving the country first. If this doesn't work, I will plan for a travel outside of US. 1. Given that it was a mistake on our part to not supply proper documentation to USCIS, what are the chances that CBP will issue a new I-94 ? Nearest CBP to me is in Minneapolis and I have read in one of the post that they do not so I-94 corrections. Is anyone aware of such cases and/or success stories at the Minneapolis/St Paul CBP ? 2. Do I have better chances at other CBP locations, for instance Chicago ? If CBP do not issue an I -94, I am considering filing for an H1-B amendment/refiling in premium processing: 3. I am not sure what is required - an H1-B amendment or Refilling the application for H1-B ? How can I find out? 4. Are there ways I can save some of the fees if I were to re-file as the cases for h1-b is already approved? Thanks in advance for your help and replies. Regards.
