I-94 stamping/Passport expiring

[sk2002sk]

Hi!

I am planning to go to India on March 29. I have a valid H1B visa in my passport. The H1B visa expires in December 2005 but my passport expires earlier in June 2005. When I re-enter US (sometime in April 2004), what would be the validity of the I-94 issued at that time? I heard that, in such cases, they are currently issuing I-94 valid only till expiry of passport. I feel, this is not correct, because I plan to get my passport renewed when I enter U.S.

Has anyone of you experienced this or has any more information on this?

Thanks a million!

Yes that is the policy. When you renew your passport you can go to the nearest POE and get a new I94.
