I-94 card when leaving US.

We have I-94 card (white one) that we got when we entered into US. We also have two more I-94 cards that we got when we extend the H1B. One of them is valid until Feb 2008.

When we leave US, at the port of entry do we have to give all I-94 cards including the latest one, which is valid until Feb 2008?

Hello Baby_Mde,

When you say that you got two more I-94 cards when you extended your status, was the new I-94 received part of form I-797 from the USCIS with your receipt number on it?

Also, on the new I-94, is the number at the top the same as your original I-94? If this is the case, you should keep the two together since they are the same I-94 number.

I am not a law expert, but from my experience I have only ever gotten new I-94 numbers when I re-enter the country from overseas. I imagine you would get a new I-94 number if you applied for a new one through a lost I-94 card. I hope this helps!

-----------give all I-94 cards
if you have two I-94 then staple both(latest at top) and give it to airline counter before go out.
if your spouse has also two I-94 staple both and give it.

*** keep the copies of all the I-94 (front and back) for your future records in your immigration file at home
