I 94 Expiring in Jan

[mschetti]

Hi ,

My passport is expiring on Jan 21st and when I entered US after visiting India couple of days back the immigration officer gave me a I94 till Jan 21st even though my H1B expires in June 2007 .

I would be renewing my passport in NY but my concern is what are the steps I need to take to renew my I 94 , once my passport is renewed . Also can I continue working with my current employer once I put my papers for I 94 renewal ..

what are the options I have ...
Please advice .....

If you file extension of stay before I-94 expiration, you can legally stay in the US.

Thanks for the information I would go through the link you provided . Secondly I also had a quick question Can I continue working with my current employer once I put in my papers for I 94 extension before it expires ...

Yes, you can work up to 240 days during pending extension after I-94 expiration.
