1-94 number on 797 is different from that on passport.

Hi,
My H1B expired on sept 2009. My employer applied for my visa extension I received my approved 797 copy, but I 94 number on my 797 and passport are not matching. To explain further, when I first entered in US in March 2007 I got I 94 (ex: 123), when I last time entered in US in April 2008 I got I94 (ex: 456) which is my latest I94 number displayed on my passport. My latest H1B extension valid till sept 2012 is showing I 94 number issued to me when I entered in 2007 (123) instead of my latest I 94 number(456) attached to my passport.
Will this be a problem? I have to sponsor my in-laws visa so please guide me how this can be handled. Any help appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.

Not a problem. You don't need to worry about it.

Yes. There is absolutely nothing wrong with your I-94. It isn't something that you should be worried about.

It will be better if you inform the situation to INS , there is nothing to panic as your status is valid but get your I-94 information updated.
