I-94 with old employer visa expiry date but have new I-797 petition(changed job)

[kumar_vijay7]

Hi,

I have H1B visa stamped from old employer till Sep 2013. I had changed job and in May 2013 I went to India and entered back on old employer H1B visa.
The immigration office at port of entry put the old employer visa expiry date as the expiry date on I-94. I requested the officer that I have new I-797 petition so I should get I-94 with new I-797 expiry date. But office insisted that they can issue I-94 only on the basis of Visa expiry date. If I want to get the I-94 date corrected then I should go to USCIS office. I went to local USCIS office they gave me I-102 form and asked me to complete this and send it to USCIS office.

I am not sure whether I am doing the right things to get my I-94 expiry date corrected or not.

Please suggest on this. I will really appreciate your help on this.


Thanks,
Vijay

Go to a CBP deferred inspection site at a nearby international airport and they may be able to correct it for you. USCIS and I-102 has nothing to do with this.
If they don't do it, you have two options to get a new extended I-94. 1. Your employer can file a petition amendment to extend your status. 2. You can travel outside and return.

Thanks for your reply. I went to CBP office and they said they can not extend my I-94 since they issue I-94 only on the basis of visa expiry date.
I think I should go for one of the above suggested ways.
