  • I-94 dates gap after recent H1B visa transfer

    Hello,

    I recently switched to a new employer and got H1B visa approved and I-94 start date both as 1/31/2017.
    My previous H1B and I-94 end date was 9/30/2016.
    However, my previous employer filed visa extension before I-94 expiration (9/30/2016) and that was still pending.
    I got an offer and I transferred visa to new employer.

    So, there in a GAP of 4 months between old and new I-94s.
    Am I still eligible to stay in USA?
    I knew if my visa transfer get approved on pending extension (previous I-94 expired) I have to go thru consular processing (in case I don't get new I-94). But, I got new I-94. Am I on eligible status?
    Please suggest.

    It sounds like you are good.
