joshuaMiami Posted February 5, 2013 Report Posted February 5, 2013 Hi everyone I'm a nonimmigrant with H1B visa living in Miami, FL. My I-94 and visa both have expired on January 17th but my work petition (I-797B) will expire only on September 30th. However, I mixed up the dates of my I-94 and my wife's, and I got the date of hers in my head. So, I overstayed unintentionally 19 days only (considering the today's date). My boss is counting with me here and the company also has intention to ask for an extension of my visa. Is there any way to get an extension of my I-94 after 19 days of its expiration date considering my circumstances? Is there any grace period after you got your I-94 expired that gives you time to apply for an extension? What are my options? Thanks in Advance
Attorney_11 Posted February 6, 2013 Report Posted February 6, 2013 Typically there is no grace period, but if there was an error when an I-94 was issued it can be corrected by USCBP. It may be helpful to make an appointment to speak to an immigration attorney to determine whether an error indeed happened and whether USCBP would be amenable to fix it.
sindia Posted February 9, 2013 Report Posted February 9, 2013 I am in a similar situation. Since joshuaMiami has accrued illegal stay for 19 days and since his I-94 shows a past date, will he be deported when he goes and talks to US CBP or US CBP (Deferred Inspection site) ?
