Hi Anil,
My h1b visa expires on April 14, 2025 and my i-94 admit until date is September 10,2023 which was my old passport expiry date.
I went to Mexico for my VISA stamping in March 10,2023 on my return, officer at port of entry (POE) put my PASSPORT EXPIRY date as “Until” date in the seal which is September 10,2023 .
I didn’t notice this and also did not know the significance of this which I am not aware of it.Apparently this date of September 10,2023 is my latest i-94 admit until date. I have applied for New Passport but i didn’t updated i94 at that time.
Recently (after 1year) my employer noticed this issue and My employer has tried to terminated me from employment per lawyer’s advise.
I was scared and went to Mexico border and updated my I94 with I-797 date which is April 14, 2025. CBP officer checked my old passport and new passport along with I-797 and updated the I94 seal.
And my current i94 is showing April 14, 2025 as until date.
But still my employer is trying to blame me for this, and They are going to file my h1b extension in October,2024 along with Nunc Pro Tunc (NPT) stating that it’s completely my mistake. And they are saying the chances are very slim to approve and I have to depot the country along with my dependent family.
Could you please tell me based on my case
Have you heard of any successful petitions with NPT?
Since I have corrected the i94 with 2025 date from CBP officer at Mexico border, does it help in approving my case?
Please help me
Much appreciated.
