I am encountering an unusual problem. I got my H-1B approved couples of weeks ago. However the I-94# on the H-1B approval notice is incorrect due to Service Center error. It does not match up the one on my I-94 card. My lawyer who did the H-1B petition for me says that I can file an I-102 to have it corrected. But it's hard to correct the I-94# on my H-1B approval notice. What I can do is to apply for a new I-94, the number of which matchs up the incorrect one on the notice. What a weird policy! Actually applying for a new number is OK to me. The problem is that another lawyer is going to file my I-140 soon. And she uses my correct I-94# for my I-140 petition. I really don't want to get into this number trouble at this moment. By the way, I don't have an A# now. So I would like to ask the following questions:

1. Is the incorrect I-94# on the aproval notice a potential problem to my I-140 or 485 petition? If not, I wouldn't file an I-102 for the correction, or do this later?

2. If I must have the wrong number corrected, can I file the I-102 at the meantime with I-140 or 485? Will filing an I-102 cause any problems to my I-140 or 485 petition?

Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks a lot.
 
I-94# shows as 00000000 please help!!

I recently transered my H1 from company A to B. After the H1 transfer to company B was approved, we also filed for my spouse's H4.The I-94 that came with new H4 approval notice has I-94# as 000000000 00(all zeros),while the one received at POE (attached to the passport) has a valid I-94 number.Can this create any problems at the time of re-entry to US.We are planning to make a trip to India next month.Should we get the I-94 that came with H-4 notice corrected?Please advise.
