I had a H1-B visa that expired on June 2004, it didn't matter when I left the country, when I re-entered, my I-94 was always valid until June 2004. What significance does April 5th 2008 have, is that when your Visa expires?

Well done!
I can't say that I would have let them keep it either. Why on earth would they need too? Are they worried that you will get off and not get back on again!

But did they also keep the USCs passports?
