Urgent. Please advise. Wrong I-797 without I-94
Hello,
I received an I-797B instead of an I-797A. This is because of mistake done by my employer when filing my H1.
I finished my Masters in USA and was on OPT. My H1 started from October and I did not realize that I was having the wrong document until recently.(May). Also my I-94 has F1 as 'Duration of Stay' which I'm done with. and my I-797 listed Chennai as the consulate.
Is there any way where I can resolve this issue without leaving the US?
In the worst case, do I need to go back to Chennai to get my visa stamping?
or Can I go to Canada or Mexico?
Also I'm tensed with the 3 year ban thing (if out of status for 6 months)!!!
Please advise. Really urgent.
Thanks.
