akkesoni Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Hi, I am on H-4 status. My passport and I-94 expired on feb 07,2015.I realized that after 10 days and immediately applied for a new passport. Now I got my passport. What should be my next move? Should I go to American consulate in India or would it just be fine staying here as my old passport has visa stamp till 03Jul 2016 or go to San Ysidro- Tijuana border and get my new I-94? What are the chances that the officer at San Ysidro POE notices that I overstayed in USA? Please advice. Thanks, Shalu Link to comment
jairichi Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Exit and enter US with a valid H4 visa and a copy of your spouse's I797 and ask for new I94. Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 You should leave and return with a H4 visa. The existing visa is supposed to be deemed invalid as 1. You do not have an Extension petition on file. 2. You overstayed the end date on your period of approved stay. Link to comment
Ganesh1983 Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Hi Shalu, I also had same problem. I exit USA(Mexico - San diego Border) and came back with new I 94. Show ur approved I797- I94 validity to officer. Don't say u r overstayed. Say U got new passport and need I 94. Let me know if you need more details. Ganesh.R Link to comment
