Hi Everyone,
My company recently applied for H1B amendment and I got the approval notice as well. The end date on top section(visa) is correct which is 31st-Dec2021 but the I94 expiry date seems to be wrong which they have given only until 10th-Jan2021.
So, my current I94 according to this I797 expires in coming January. However my attorney believes that it seems to be a typo from USCIS as the end date and month are correct but only the year is wrong. She raised e-request 2months back but USCIS is taking longer time than we anticipated. Also, my attorney suggests that I wont be out status even if they don't respond by Jan2021 as it is a simple typo by USCIS.
Can you please suggest if you have any inputs on this? Will I be out of status? Or would you suggest me to step out of country and come back? Or is there any way I can fix it?
My online I94 expiry is until Jan 2022 as I went to India in past December and visa was stamped for until Dec 2021 with my previous employer's I797.
Appreciate your time!!
