Wrong date on I-94 (Immigration Law)

Sat, 21 Feb 2004 08:50:00 GMT

When I returned from a vacation abroad, INS did not look at my H1B
papers which is valid till 2006 and instead put May 2004 on my I-94 as
my valid date. May 2004 is what I have on my US visa

I was not planning to send my passport for visa revalidation. What is
my status after May 2004 when the I-94 expires but H1B paper is still
valid?

Thanks in advance
Mahesh

    You would be out of status. The easiest way to straighten it out is to
    leave to Canada or Mexico, be sure to surrender your I-94 when you leave,
    and come back and fill out a new one.

    The other possibilities include going to the local CIS office and asking
    for deferred inspection (although Sylvia just mentioned that this option
    may no longer be available). You can also try and go to the same airport
    where you entered the USA.

    Does your H1B petition have an I-94 attached to the bottom if
    it?

    They're supposed to give you an I-94 valid to the end of your
    petition if it doesn't exceed 3 years, and your visa is still valid, but
    they probably just made a mistake. You could depart/reenter prior to
    May'04, or send away by mail to extend your status. If you have an I-94
    attached to your I-797, it is probably good until the end of your
    petition.

    What was the expiration date on your passport?
