Mehul55512 Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 My H1B transfer amendment petition was approved but the I-797B does not have I-94 attached to it. Instead the I-797B states as below - Class Consulate / POE OCC H1B Mumbai 030 My company's immigration team claims that it is an USCIS error and they have requested a correction and as per their advice I am eligible to stay in US as my amendment petition has been approved. Futher as per my company's immigration team, USCIS has informed them that USCIS would need 45 days to fetch my petition that they had sent to another office. Meanwhile, local DMV office would not issue me driving liscense as their system did not accept current I-94 details (I downloaded from CBP website) and have requested an inquiry from Dept. of Homeland Security. Please advice wheather I should wait until my company's immigration team receives a response from USCIS or do I need to travel to Mumbai Consulate for stamping? Regards MS Link to comment
JoeF Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Is your current I-94 still valid? Link to comment
jairichi Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 You cannot work without a valid I94. Either wait for USCIS to rectify error or go for visa stamping. Link to comment
Mehul55512 Posted November 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 Is your current I-94 still valid? Thanks for your response. Most recent I94 on CBP Site says "Admit Until Date: 01/XX/2017". So I guess it is still valid. However the travel history is wrongly updated and says I departed from US in Feb. (Port of Exit is blank). Link to comment

Thanks for your response. My relocation amendment petition is approved but the I797B approval notice was issued without I94 card. In such a situation is the electronic I94 issued at the time I entered US still valid, especially if the most recent I94 on CBP site says admit until a future date? Link to comment

Hello Mehul, Any help / advice from you is appropriated. I am in same situation like you, H1B transfer approved by 797B and no I-94. My previous I-94 is valid till 03/2018 What did the notice say? why they didn't they gave you I-94? Did your 797-B came with counselor processing? What steps did you took? Link to comment
sri2483 Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 Hello Mehul or wishme, I am also in the same situation.
