I have an approved I797 with valid dates specified from 09/07/2016 - 09/06/2019.
I went to Canada to get my H1B visa stamping in 2016 after I got the above approved I797 and got a one year visa stamp.
My I94 says that I have an Admit until date 09/06/2017. The CBP office here made the error that instead of putting the Petition expiry date or the passport expiry date(in my case passport expiry date comes first - 01/13/2019) he put in the visa expiry date.
Now i already traveled to India on 04/06/18 as I was to go for my H1B visa interview for the same above petition. I noticed this discrepancy before going and have cancelled my interview.
Now the issue that I am facing is does the past admit until date on my I94 put me as overstay for the duration of greater than 180 days that I was in US past that date even though I had an approved I797? Does this cause any issues with my Visa stamping process here in Mumbai?
Is it possible to get the I94 Admit Until date corrected now either by the email system at Deferred Inspection Sites or having an attorney present this at the CBP office even though I have left the country? Have I already triggered the 3 year ban?
