Dear all:

Here is my situation. I had applied for an H1B extension, and I got the approval after several months. However there is a gap in the I-94 dates in the approval notice. Please see below.

Old H1-B expired on 4/20/2002
Extension application mailed to BCIS on 4/19/2002
New H1-B approval received on 9/23/2002 with validity dates 9/15/2002 - 10/15/2004.


There is a gap from 4/20/2002 to 9/15/2002 on my I-94, although I had mailed the application before the old I-94 expired.

Is this a problem? Will this come up during my permenant residency I-485 stage? I assume this is an error on the BCIS side.

Please share your advice.

Regards.
 
BCIS committed the mistake - but that cannot be used as a justifiable reason when a question arises during 485. Do get an attorney involved. I think it is better to be wiser initially than be sorry later. Good luck my friend...
 
Go to lawyer with receipt notice of H filling and copy of H1 approval, I-94, lawyer should request BCIS to correct the mistake and issue you new H1 approval notice with correct date on I-94. If it is mistake of BCIS and pointed out in cover letter and out side the envelope “ BCIS mistake, Please correct” then they expedite the process. Get it fixed
