Hi all,

I am in a very strange situation. I arrived to US on 21st August 2006
on L2 visa. The I-94 provided by Immigration officer does not have a
expiration date on it. On passport They mentioned 'until date' as 9th
Feb 2007. Does this mean my I-94 expires on 9th Feb 2007. Also the
officer asked me to get the latest petition of my husband as petition
expiry date(9-Feb-2007) and I-94 expiry date(29-Jul-2009) of my Husband
were different. Do I need to go to Atlanta? Currently I am staying in
Melbourne, FL. Atlanta is very far from Melbourne. Or can I get some
information on this in Melbourne international airport.

Any help will be appreciated.

What exactly did he put on the I-94? Did he tell you how long he was
admitting you for?

What do you mean by "on passport"? Who put this date and where exactly
did they put it?

I can't tell without more precise information.

Again, I don't understand what you mean. Are you saying that your
husband's I-94 admits him until beyond the end of his petition? How did
that happen?

What is the expiry date of your Husband's current L-1 approval?
What is the date on the I-94 your husband received when he last entered
the country?
Has your husband's L-1 been renewed or extended since he last entered
the country? If so, does the bottom right-hand corner of the petition
approval notice have "I-94" printed on it?

I don't know why Atlanta would have anything to do with this.

On my I-94, the officer in Atlanta airport mentioned only the type of
visa i.e L2, arrival date (21 Aug 2006) but has not mentioned the
'expiry date'. On my husband's petition ie I-797 they hav mentioned
7th feb 2007 as the expiry date. So he put this date on my passport.
When i showed him my husband's I-94 which has 29th july 2009 as the
expiry date, he did not agree. The office in Atlanta airport asked me
to get the latest Petition.

On my husband's petition ie I-797 they hav mentioned 7th feb 2007 as
the expiry date. When he came to Atlanta, they put a seal on the
photocopy of Petition & wrote 29th july 2009 as 'until date' on the
Petition & I-94. When i came here i had my husband's photocopy of I-94
but didnt have the updated Petition.


    > What is the expiry date of your Husband's current L-1 approval?
Its 9th feb 2007 but the officer changed the petition date as 29 th jul
2009 & expiry date on I-94 is also 29th jul 2009.

The expiry date on I-94 of my husband is 29th jul 2009.
