Expired I 94(due to incorrect date placed by CBP) but valid H1b and I 797
Hey all,

I wanted to share my experience as I used this forum when I was struggling with this issue. My situation-

I have valid I 797 from July 2019 till July 2022. I traveled to India in Jan 2020 and got my H1b visa stamped. Upon return to US I used the global entry kiosk( did not have a in-person interview with CBP officer). I did not check electronic I 94 at tht time. That was oversight on my part.

In April 2022 I checked electronic I 94 as it was time to extend my visa. To my shock CBP entered wrong date of validity for I 94. Instead of July 2022, they placed July 2020. My passport was valid till 2025, so that was not the reason. It was an error by CBP.

I contacted multiple attorneys and all suggested to contact CBP for correction. I was little apprehensive of outcomes as I 94 expired for more than 1.5 years.

I took services of attorney and he sent an email to CBP and they corrected in 2 days. So it's all sorted. It was a big relief.

I would suggest you can contact CBP directly through email or phone. I would not recommend going in person. You can take services of immigration attorneys if you are little apprehensive like me or if CBP does not correct when you request. The immigration attorneys some times know the local CBP officers in their area, who they previously worked with. This might make things little easy.

Also if one CBP office does not correct the dates, contact other offices in different cities. I was told by attorney he had to sometimes contact multiple CBP offices to get dates corrected.
