I 94 # number is not printed in the I797 Document

[swethavijay]

Hello Friends,

I got my H1B this year 2009. I am currently living in madison WIsconsin. So I applied SSN on october 1st and the lady said that I94# number is not printed in my H1B(I797) Document.

She also said that I94#number should be 11 digits where as my I94 # in the passport is 10 digits.

I called the department of homeland security and she is very rude and she said that there is no mistake and I need to add 0 as the first digit to my I 94 #. she also said that its waste of time coming to their office

Is that correct ? Could you please tell me whats the procedure to correct my I 94# and get it printed back to my I797 Document. Please help me

Thanks
Swetha

If a COS was approved, your H1b approval must have an I-94 number printed same as the white I-94 in your passport. Ask the SSA person to use the white I-94 with the H1b status and you may be fine.

It is rather strange that the I-94 number is missing. Your attorney should contact CIS and ask them for a proper I797A.

Thank you so much for the reply

My H1b(I797A) is approved but I 94# is missing in that document

Yes I applied the SSN with my white card I94#. But she was not sure whether they will accept it or not. She also told that the I 94 # in the passport is 10 digits which should be 11 digits. so she just added 0 as the first digit and submitted the application

My Attorney asked me to contact my local office and I called them but she didnt responded properly.I dont know what to do.Do I need to go to vermont

One more thing is my I 94# in the passport is expired(sep30 2009) and my H1B is from oct 1st 2009.

Is that the reason I 94# is missing?

Please reply at your earliest convenient time. Take Care
