I-94 stamping/Passport expiring

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!

P.S. I know this is not the most appropriate forum for this question, but I thought most of the people here must have experienced a similar situation and I would get a valuable feedback.
 
When I was coming back in July of 2002, my I-94 was stamped for the validity of my H1b (till June 2004) even though my passport was to expire much earlier (June 2003). I don't think you should worry about it.
