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?

Re: Surrender I-94?
I had my green card interview a few weeks before going to UK. I told the interviewer that I was planning to go away and asked if I could travel on my H1B. He said that he had not cancelled it and it would be fine.
It was not until later I realised thet my I94 was no longer in my passport, I assume that he took it.
When I checked in at LAX with Virgin they asked me where it was. I just say faked ignorance and said I dont know. They told me I couldnt leave without it as they passed me my boarding card.
I had no problems getting back in. Since I have an H1B I cant see that it should make so much difference unless I return with one already in my passport...
maybe I got lucky though.. or maybe I am screwed now in my GC which is still processing at the FBI
