Have a valid H1B extn until April 2018; but I-94 expires on 02/13/2016
I entered US on March 07, 2015 with a visa stamping valid until 29th Oct 2017.
My old ppt was valid until 7 Feb 2015 and me new ppt is valid until May 2024.
I'm not sure which ppt the immigration officer looked at. Probably it was my mistake that I showed both.
He issued me an I-94 with validity only until 13 Feb 2016.
However, in 2015, I changed jobs. So my new employer filed a petition in September and I got a I797 approval until April 2018.
When they filed this transfer and extension, they had produced the most recent I-94 too.
Does this new I-797 override the I-94 validity expiring in Feb 2016?
Or should I file for extension of stay or go out of the US and come back with new stamping and I-94?
Appreciate your help.
Thanks.
