@Anil_Gupta - At Port of Entry, my I94 was given till old passport expiration date of Nov4th 2018. So, my I94 expired soon.
Can I get my I94 renewed at this location. I have a valid H1B stamping and new passport. Please advice​.

CBP i94 fees online - Use OLD passport number

Old passport number is fine as that’s the one CBP currently has in their system.

CBP verifies your existing i94 before letting you move forward.

i94 fees is per person and has to be paid separately for each person online or in-person at border.

Hi Anil,

Thanks for the information. I got the i94 updated In PedWest facility. I first went to East facility via Pedestrian bridge and the officer told me to goto PedWest. But I cannot see my departure record in website and only arrival record is present

12

Is that fine to only have arrival record

13

That’s fine. You got the paper i94 with new validity?

That’s the only thing that you need.

14

Yes…I got Paper I94 with new validity …But departure record is not shown online

15

That’s fine. No need to worry.

Hi Anil, Is it required to surrender this Paper I94 while departure? or shall I always keep it affixed to my passport
