(anykind of document shall i bring for replace i-94), 2. am i still legal when someday i go back to USA again? (follow the answer from question 1). thnks
Answer Jimmy,
I do not know the I-539 details that you have applied for so I cannot answer your questions fully. Generally, you are always allowed to leave the country and you can reenter if you have a valid visa and have not overstayed your status in the US on past visits.
Good Luck
