Hi,
My I-539 petition for H4 extension was filed when i was on visit to India. When i re-entered US I was given I-94 upto Feb2007 (based on my visa and earlier petition). I was told at the port of entry if i did not receive my extension by Feb i need to get out of US. If i get extension within Feb2007 i need to send my I-94s for update (with $150 fee)-- i couldnt understand what he meant.
My question:
(1) Though i mentioned to the officer my extension was already filed why did he say i need to get out?
(2) Couldnt understand why i need to send my I-94's when i think the "new" I-94 which i will receive will be the latest one and will be valid.
(3) As my I-539 application will be having copy of old I-94 and before this extension application is processed i have received a new one I-94. Do i need to send the latest I-94 copy as well? What are impacts of not sending it?
Any clarification will be highly appreciated..
Thanks in advance,
Saamri
