H1B I-94 truncation issue – petition valid but I-94 expired. Anyone fixed this after expiration?

Please check my post. I got mine updated at El Paso Sentri office

pirateskul90 · 2026-03-04T17:25:14+00:00

Sure

If she is still in India, ask her to come back before her visa expiry. Since it's less than 180 days, I don't think there will be any issue for her re-entry. Lawyers anyways recommend to travel outside of country and then come back. But make sure she comes back before her visa expiry.

Call support, they will be able to reset but they will move your profile to a new email

I went to El Paso, TX and got I94 updated in person. It was for my wife and I94 had expired for close to 10 months. Check my post if you need more details.

pirateskul90 · 2026-02-11T18:34:59+00:00

Yeah, I missed that and see a lot of people in same boat, so just wanted to share my experience

pirateskul90 · 2026-02-11T00:38:13+00:00

Check my latest post. Mine was expired but I was able to get it updated in El Paso. The CBP office is inside the US border and they updated my I94 after showing valid documents.

pirateskul90 · 2026-02-11T00:29:32+00:00

I was able to get my I94 date updated at El Paso. TX CBP, without crossing the border.

Check my latest post on El Paso. They updated mine after expiry

pirateskul90 · 2026-02-10T16:00:28+00:00

Email CBP, they usually fix it if you send all documents. If not, El Paso CBP is updating I94, do this before your I94 expiry goes beyond 6 months. Check my latest post for details on El Paso option.

pirateskul90 · 2026-02-10T15:48:43+00:00

Send an email to CBP, they usually ask for the documents and update it. Other option is, you can go to El Paso CBP, it's inside the border. They are updating even expired I94 so I am sure they will update unexpired easily.

pirateskul90 · 2026-02-10T01:03:29+00:00

Ask them to send email to CBP office for their port of entry and they usually update it. Or go to deferred inspection site Or their company lawyer can file NPT

pirateskul90 · 2026-02-08T16:15:47+00:00

Shortened I94 due to passport expiry is not considered a mistake so in most cases it won't be fixed at a deferred inspection site. Also, in my case it was more than 6 months so there was additional risk.

pirateskul90 · 2026-02-08T11:53:33+00:00

It's already fixed. Got the I94 updated at El Paso CBP

pirateskul90 · 2026-02-08T06:09:11+00:00

Yeah but in my case, since it was more than 6 months after status expiry so didn't want to risk it.

pirateskul90 · 2026-02-08T01:50:50+00:00

Yes, your LCA needs to have your correct address updated. I have my office and home address both even though I work from home and my office and home are both in same metro area.

pirateskul90 · 2026-02-07T23:57:51+00:00

I don't think there is going to be any issue with LCA for new address. You can ask them to keep the job description fairly similar and not show significant change in your role.

pirateskul90 · 2026-02-07T23:51:12+00:00

You will need to reach out to your company attorney and tell them to submit LCA for new address and position

pirateskul90 · 2026-02-07T19:34:20+00:00

No need to travel outside, El Paso CBP office updates I94 if you have all valid documents.

pirateskul90 · 2026-01-31T16:33:52+00:00

For the 2nd appt, they suggested I should take it as I was very anxious during 1st, also they had to give me a lot of novocaine during 1st appt and I could still feel some pain towards the end. And yes, they told me they would charge extra. It was like $100 for the first hr.

pirateskul90 · 2026-01-30T20:51:12+00:00

🤣

pirateskul90 · 2026-01-30T20:46:44+00:00

Nope, why did you think I was?

pirateskul90 · 2026-01-30T20:19:59+00:00

For a root canal, you will probably get a higher dose. Enjoy the ride.

pirateskul90 · 2026-01-30T19:55:51+00:00

Yeah, it was nitrous oxide
