I-94 Questions

[sarkarsu]

Hi,

My wife has a stamped H4 visa & I-94 both are valid through Oct 16th 2008. We have applied H1B for her which got approved somewhere in May 2007.
The Approved H1B documents along with new I-94 is with her employer.
We have some issues with the employer so we are not sure that we can get the H1B & I-94 documents from her employer.
As we also applied for EAD,In the mean time if we receive her EAD card and Travel Document for my wife.
Do we still need her H1B and new I-94 documents from her employer for any reason?

Any advise is well appreciated.

Thanks
Suman.

To the best of my knowledge, you need the I-94 which is there with the employer for returning at Airport (when you go out of US). The rule is to return all the I-94, which you have on the day of going out. Even though you are having misunderstanding with your employer, you can say them that you want to go out of the country, and the I-94 is required to return it at Airport.

You may not need the H1B copy, as it seems you don't want to get visa stamped, but you will need the I-94.

Rember EAD comes at your home address, but the Adavance Parole (the travel document) will be received by the attorney.
