I am in L1-Blanket Visa. My Visa and petition (I-797) is expiring on 02-Jan-2010. But my I-94 and driver's license is expiring on 29-Oct-2008. My employer filed for extension but they withdraw the application because there was an RFE. If I travel to Canada/Mexico and come back, will I be issued a new I-94? Appreciate a quick response.

After the successful completion of processing the applicant, a CBP officer stamps the applicant’s CBP Form I-94, Arrival and Departure Records, and the passport. The CBP Declaration, used at air and sea ports of entry, may also be stamped by the CBP officer. The CBP officer retains the arrival portion of the CBP Form I-94 and returns the departure portion of the CBP Form I-94 and passport to the applicant.
The departure portion of CBP Form I-94 and passport is to be in the applicant’s possession at all times until the applicant departs the United States. If an applicant boards a commercial conveyance to depart the United States, the transportation carriers are:
To remove the departure portion of the CBP Form I-94 from the applicant’s passport.
Annotate the reverse of the departure portion of the CBP Form I-94 with the facts of the applicant’s departure from the United States.
Return the departure portion of the CBP Form I-94 to the nearest CBP office.
It is the applicant’s responsibility to make sure the transportation carriers collect the applicant’s departure portion of the CBP Form I-94. If an applicant departs the United States by way of land through Canada or Mexico, it is the applicant’s responsibility to return the departure portion of the CBP Form I-94 to Canadian or Mexican Immigration Officer upon departing the United States, unless it is retained for automatic revalidation upon re-entry to the United States within 30 days of departure to contiguous territory for all nonimmigrants (or additionally, adjacent islands for F, J, and M nonimmigrants) (see 8 CFR 214.1 and 22 CFR 41.112 for complete information on automatic revalidation).
