I got a 2-year I-94 while visiting Korea on an E-2 visa.
I entered on a 2-year E-2 visa from Korea. Recently, after visiting Korea, I received a 2-year I-94.
My driver’s license and similar documents are only valid for the period stamped on my visa.
Question 1. Does the I-94 have any significance?
Question 2. If so, can I renew my license?
Question 3. Can my family also renew?
Regardless of how many years your visa covers, your status and stay period within the U.S. should be based on the stay period recorded on the I-94 you receive at entry. For example, if you show a 5-year E-2 visa and enter, your status is typically E-2, and the stay period is usually stamped as 2 years on the I-94.
However, if your passport’s validity period only has 1 year left, you’ll only be granted that 1 year.
Your family can similarly renew up to the expiration date on each of their own I-94s.
