My wife arrived at the port of entry from India on Sept 9th after her months trip from home.
Her passport had been stamped with H4 till oct15 the date from my previous H1 approval letter.
I had received the new approval email after filing through premium but did not receive the new approval letter in mail by the time she was coming back.
At the port of entry, The immigration officer stamped her passport valid till oct25th and mentioned to her that she along with her husband will have to go out of the country before Oct 15
and get our passports re-stamped with the new H1 and H4 stamps and then we can renter the country.
She mentioned to the immigration officer that my husband has the new H1 approval already till May of 2017 showing him the email printout but he still put the officer said
that your stay is valid till Oct 25th this year and insisted that she will have to get out of the country and come back with the new stamp.
I have the H1 and H4 approval letters now with the new I94 attached at the bottom.
Does the stay valid until stamp of Oct 25 on her passport override the new I94 attached to the approval?
Do we need to do get out of the country and get our passports re-stamped if we don't intend to travel out of the country now,after we got our extension approved?
Thank you for answering.
