Hello all,
I need a clarification about the I-94 thing.
As I have mentioned previously, my husband got a 3 year extension on his H-1 ( I 140 approval ) till 08/2009 and he went to canada for stamping since we are planning to leave for India. He drove to canada and the officers at the border while entering into canada did not take his old I 94( expired 08/2006) which was on his older passport ( expired 04/2006). While on his way back to US, they stapled the lower part of his I-797 dated till 08/2009 to his new passport (current one) and stamped on the passport. But they did not put any date on the stamp where it shows'dated till'.
We are leaving for India tomorrow and have a couple of questions in this regard:
1. Is it okay to have two I 94's in the two different passpots? Has it happened to anyone who drove to canada that their older I 94 has not been taken?
2. While departing to India, which I-94 will be taken? the expired one on the older passport or the new one in the new passport. If the new one has to be taken, as it is a part of the original I-797 form, should it be surrendered to them?
We really appreciate your answers. Since we are travelling tomorrow, we are really concerned about this issue.
Thank you very much in advance.

I am in the same situation and my attorney advised me to definetely file my wife's H4 extension along with my H1, but make sure to only request her H4 extension till Sept 30, 2007 so that her H1 approved COS will take effect from Oct 1st.
Hope this helps.

1 . Where is the donor forum? I could not find it
2. I am a donor (two times). But I do not have access to it.

Mostly they do not ask you 797 if you have valid stamping. You need to show new original 797 only if you have extended one, so that they will issue i-94 till end of your extension, otherwise your i94 will have expiry date (of stamping in passport ) as your end date of I-94.
Does that makes sense ?

Well...I guess there are as many different opinions on that, as there are varieties of coffee. For me, it certainly is.
