My I-94 has expired on 15th of this month and fresh H1 applied by my prostective employer under premium processing. Should have been a transfer came but employer forgot my expiry date is 15th so big mess up. He says new H1 should come by thursday. So I have to go to India( delhi) and get new H1 stamped and then come back.
It seems to me that my bigger problem might be when I come back here after getting the visa at port of entry since the office here at port of entry will most definitely know that I overstayed even if the embassy in India does not know. By the way I have to apply in delhi. Any feedback on the H1 cases there in terms of what they usually ask?
If the immigration officer on port of entry or embassy in delhi asks me about why I overstayed can and should I clearly say that my employer screwed up(of course nicely) instead of coming up with stories. He actually forgot to remember that my expiry date was 15th. Usually will they deny entry based on a few days overstay? I understand its their discretion but whats the general practice/experience in such cases.
I am also taking courses in a masters program so I am guessing I should take some documents from the school also which show that if that helps my case for visa or on return at port of entry.
Please respond soon
Thanks
