My current I94 expires in 2 months. H-1B extension has been approved with new I-94. How do I get I94 extended while staying in US?

I don't believe you can extend the I94 without a fresh entry into the US. And we all know what that entails :)

You don’t need to do anything apart from getting the physical copy of the I797 approval.

New I-94 with extension is new number issued with approval notice. However new I-94 issued with transfer petition is the same number(as per cbp last entry record - expires in 2 months). Does that change anything? If I join new employer, I’ll be joining with the same I-94 number that expires in 2 months or Am I missing something here?

You don't have to do anything. Your new i797 which has the new i94 should be sufficient. I was in the same situation. Your attorney will also confirm the same info.

Look at the new i94 expiration date. That should be different

You mean online i94?

But then howcome my transfer petition has same number whereas extension that happened later had different? Also, if the number is same, do I need to apply for I-94 extension or its already done based on approval dates and when I depart and re-enter, I can show approval notice from new employer?

Does the e-approval say anything about the consulate?

Yes better to check the #on ecopy

If you have a new I-94 issued with your extended petition, then you can stay in the US up to the new date noted on your new I-94. Your online I-94 gets updated either when you re-enter the country, or if you visit the deferred inspection site typically located at one of the major international airports across the country and the immigration/CBA officer will update that by looking at your new I-94. You can call the deferred inspection site for more details

Has anyone just been feeling pretty sad and down these past few months? I’ve never really felt this way pre-pandemic but now no matter what I do (workout,talk to friends, yoga) I still feel waves of sadness. I live in a cold city with strict covid lockdowns so I know that that is contributing to my sadness but just wanted to see if anyone else feels like this and how you are coping? I also haven’t traveled or gone on many social outings since last March so Ik that is taking a toll on me as well

Hi fishes,

Just need your idea/experience (if any) on the following query:

If I wish to join CTS only, but want to negotiate with them, on the latest offer I have with an expectation that they atleast match the same amount (if not offering me more).
So just wanted to know, whether at all they would provide me a revised offer or would they be strict enough to let me go & not negotiating at all?
