I-94 issue

[harigoli]

Recently My wife and kid traveled to India and returned back in December. By showing there I539 approval which is valid till march-2012 at immigration .

In return my wife got I-94 till march-2012 and for
My son immigration told that My Kid passport is going to expire on may 2011, so they gave him I94 only till may 2011.

Now I got his new passport.
Should I file for new I539 to get his I-94 ext ?

You have 3 options

1) File the extension (I-539) before your son's current I-94 expires.
2) Try the local CBP post to see if they can extend the I-94 since you have got the passport extended (It may or may not work).
3) Your son should leave the country before current I-94 expiry date and re-enter. He will get the extended I-94 upon his return.

I-94 issue

We stay 2 hrs far from chicago. actual POE is chicago.

or we can we go to any CBP office near to us ? or we must only go to chicago office ?

for I-94 ext

Chicago airport will be the closest. However, CBP may not correct the I-94 as there is no error on their end with the passport expiring soon. No harm trying.

I-94 for Kid

My kid has Approved I-539 till june 2012,

Both he ahd his mom came to US on some day.

Since his passport is near to expire ..POE gave I-94 base on his passport,

last week got new passport


Can CBP extend I-94 based on approval / Or

I should apply for i539 extension again ?

Well, you are asking the same question again. Like mentioned in the previous reply, your son got an I-94 with less duration because of his passport expiry date. It was not an error at POE. No one can predict whether CBP will help you extend the I-94 or not. There are cases where people have successfully extended the I-94 at a CBP post after renewing the passport (It totally depends on the officer you meet). You just need to try your luck. If that doesn't work, then file the extension immediately.
