1-94 will expire, will have NOA1, need stamp?

[alibekah 4]

I have a question, and its probably silly, my husband's 1-94 will expire in late June, we will have the NOA1 by then. Do we need to do anything to extend his i-94 until his EAD? Is there even such a thing? If there is, is it worth it?

I ask because he is concerned with walking around with an expired I-94. Does it affect anything in the future (like job applications, getting the driver's liscence...)?

Thanks in advance!!!

You don't extend the I-94. If hes worried keep a copy of the AOS NOA1 on him when hes out.

An EAD is not proof of residency and says so on the card. There is no more need of the I-94 since his status is pending with AOS.

Congratulations on your marriage!

I understand his concerns,I had them too. You can't 'extend' the I-94. I just kept my NOA1 with me once I had it. He won't be leaving the Country so it shouldn't matter.

That's what I know. If there is more someone else should be able to tell you.

Good luck with AOS!

Thank you for the info! I will let him know.

Thank you for the kind words! We are looking forward to this process I will tell him to keep a copy on him when he is out and about.

He isn't eligible to work until he has his EAD, and most states won't let him get his licence till he has his EAD or GC anyway (you'll need to check state laws).

If you're concerned about the fact that for a while he had an expired I-94 (even after he's approved and what not) then don't worry. Once he filed his AOS and got his NOA1 he was in a new period of "authorised stay" so his status is no longer based on the I-94 and is based instead on the NOA1. I can tell you I had an expired I-94 for about 4 months before I was even able to file AOS and I have my drivers licence without question (just had to flash my GC for proof of status) and have applied for jobs also without problems. I haven been "I-9 verified" also without issue. The fact I was out-of-status for a while doesn't matter so your husband is fine
