I had posted for help almost a month ago and my situation was that the Immigration Inspector had stamped the date incorrectly on my I 94 which was according to my old yet valid H1B visa stamp. I was at this point working for another company and my petition had a validity date well into 2003. The incorrectly stamped I 94 was also valid at this point.
Some kind soul on this board (I am sorry cannot remember his/her nick) asked me to go and try to get this rectified at the local INS and my lawyer was quite sceptical about this approach. He wanted me to leave the country and come back in.
Anyway I tried the local INS (it was almost a 12hr process from 4am to 4pm)BUT they issued me a new I 94 with the correct date on it saving me a whole lot of trouble (what with the NIV\'s not being issued at border posts anymore and all of that!). So just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU to whoever suggested that! Good luck to everyone here. I am in the final stage of my GC and am as eager as hell to get all of this done with.
My take on it was that the officers at the INS will not cause undue trouble if everything checks out, you have your documents and a plausible reason behind the problem.
Hope this helps anyone out there in a similar situation.
