*** URGENT!! I-94 expired
**URGENT** Any help will be greatly appreciated!!
Here are details of my situation:
1. Went to India on September 22, 2004 with an H1-B visa that was expiring on November 26, 2004.
2. I had an H1-B extension case pending with the USCIS which got approved before i went to India, though i wasn't aware of it (Approval date: September 8, 2004)
3. Approval notice says visa extended till July 30, 2006. (I-94 is attached to the approval notice)
4. I returned to the US on October 10, 2004, I did not have the new approval notice with me at the POE.
5. At the port of entry the officer put an expiry date of November 26, 2004 on the I-94.
I guess this comes under what is called 'Last Action Rule'. The last I-94 is the one that is valid and not the one attached with my H1-B approval.
How can i correct this situation? Is it safe to go to the port of entry to correct this situation? Do i have any other options?
Your prompt reply will be appreciated since i am close to the 180 day mark and need to correct this ASAP.
Thanks in advance.
