I-94 Date beyond visa expiration date

Can anyone explain this? Just came back from abroad. My 6th year H1 expires May 10, 2005. At the POE, the officer put May 20, 2005 date on my I-94. He did the same thing on my wife's I-94 who is on H4. Has anyone seen this before?

I suspect there is more than just an oversight. When my 3rd year H1 was expiring and I came back from abroad. The POE officer had again put May 20, 2002 on my I-94.

Now does this mean I am really on H1 status till May 20, 2005?

Even though it is only 10 more days, it is of significance to me. I am eligible to apply for 7th year extension only by a slender margin of 4 days. 10 additional days on H1 means I now have a 14 day window to file the 7th year extension.

Any ideas?
 
no, u dont get that extended period, what u r getting is 10 days to wrap up ur affairs and leave after H1 expires, I beleive that is the standard procudure at some POE's to give 10 + days to the time period. I have seen B visitors get that extra 10 days on top of 6 mths.
