Just wondering, how much is it? I would personally recommend doing PP. Since if you get rejected and your i94 has expired you are out of status when the i94 expired.

It’s around $1300

When does your current i797 expire?

Try to get PPED approval. Mine was filed under PP. Received approval within 4 BDs
