I94 admit date post Travel - Urgent!

[harish91]

Hi Team,

I had to travel on a personal emergency to India during the month of May.

I have my H1B visa (stamped on passport)approved from Sep 06,2019 to Sep 06,2022 and also have my new I797A which is valid from Sep 07, 2022 to Sep 06, 2025.

Upon my re-entry to US via Houston, the Immigration officer didn't update my I94 as per my latest I797A but instead gave it only till Sep 06,2022 as per my current visa.

So the question here is whether I will fall out of status post sept 06, 2022 and should I travel outside US again and re-enter to update my I94 with my latest I797 before Sep 06, 2022?



Thanks for your help.

I don't know anything about H-1B extensions, so I won't comment on that part. But if you believe your I-94 was issued incorrectly, it's probably easier (and cheaper) to contact a CBP deferred inspection site than to leave and reenter.
