I-94 and I-797 date

[h1transfer09]

Hi all..


I think this questions might have been asked several times.I have couple of questions.
Please help me with this issues.

1)

last year i moved from company A to B. I got a I-797 with expiry date of ""09/30/2013.""
before moving to company B,I have my H1B visa stamped,my H1B visa expiration date as ""12/27/2012""

2 weeks back i went to india and retured back,In port of entry (HOUSTON) the visa officer gave
me I-94 with H1B visa expiration date as ""12/27/2012"".

I think it is wrong, i need to get I-94 with my I-797 expiration date, Is that correct?

How can i fix this? Can i go to the local USCIS office to fix the date?

**** I still have the I-94 which i get with my new 797 (company B), I didn't left it
when i am leaving to india, even the Immigration officer didn't tear that I-94 card **** ***


2) Do my wife get the same I-94 date as me?
When i moved from company A to B last year, Company B didn't applied for the extension for her?
so she still has 12/17/2012 I 94 card.

Do i need to apply extension to her?
or
when i go to the USCIS office to fix my I-94 date, can the Visa officer give the I-94 to
my wife with the same visa date as mine?

>>> That is correct. Usually they will isee the I-94 till the petition expiry date. Only some officers will issue the I-94 till the visa expiry date.

>>> You should have asked the officer this question before leaving the POE. Well, you can try the local CBP post to see if they can extend the I-94. If it doesn't work, then you have two options.
1) Leave the country and return back and probably next time you will get the I-94 till the petition expiry date.
2) File the extension when the I-94 is about to expire.

>>> Well, that is going to cause issues. You need to return all your I-94 cards when you leave the country. Follow the below link to return that I-94.

>>> When you apply for an extension for your wife (when her I-94 is about to expire), they will extend her status until your petition expiry date.

Do i need to apply extension to her?
or
when i go to the USCIS office to fix my I-94 date, can the Visa officer give the I-94 to
my wife with the same visa date as mine?
>>> No, it doesn't work that way. CBP may help correct your I-94. You will have to apply the extension for your wife. Extension can be filed 6 months before her current I-94 expiry date. If everyone can go to CBP to extend the I-94 for free, then USCIS might close down pretty soon due to lack for funds.
