Documents for i94 extension Laredo TX, US Mexico Border<\/h2>\n\n\n\n- Original Approved i797<\/strong>. Example: If you are on an H4 or H1B visa, your OWN approved the i797 original document.<\/li>
- Your Old (expired) and New passport<\/strong>.
For example, the passport with your US visa stamp should also be carried in the original.<\/li>- Your US address proof
Could be any utility bill, your driving license, state ID, EAD card, or Lease agreement.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\ni94 extension Laredo TX Border crossing required or Not at Bridge 1?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
First and most important, you may be asked to cross the border. It’s a 50-50 chance and is dependent on the CBP officer. Be prepared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both options are okay and can be done at Laredo, TX border easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this example case, the officer asked<\/strong> to cross the border using Bridge 1<\/strong> (Pedestrian Bridge over River Rio).<\/p>\n\n\n\nBridge 2<\/strong> is for cars coming into the US from Mexico. You can use it too but I would not recommend it.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSTEP 1:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\nGo to the CBP office. Try your luck with the immigration officer by asking for a correction of i94 based on a renewed passport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the officer fixes your i94 to match your i797 date with a new passport, you are lucky and you are done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
STEP 2. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you are asked to cross the border and re-enter the US, then use Bridge 1 (Called Gateway to America) to walk. Details are given below with pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you are in the mall, just follow the signs to Mexico. The signboard would read “Welcome to the Gateway of the Americas<\/strong>“.<\/li>
- You will just see normal stairs and a kiosk to pay for the bridge crossing fee. You can either use quarters or cash to get the coins, they also have a change-maker kiosk. The fee to enter the bridge is USD $1.<\/li>
- Once you have paid the fee, you will simply walk down the stairs and see a signboard pointing to ‘Mexico’. See red circle (shown in image). <\/li>
- Follow the sign and you will find yourself on Bridge 1.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
