A:
Updating your I-94 while you're in the United States can be a bit tricky, especially if it has already expired. Since your I-94 is tied to your initial B1/B2 visa entry, and you can't leave the country to renew it, you might need to take a different approach.
One option is to contact U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to see if they can provide guidance based on your current situation, especially since you now have an EAD and a pending asylum case. They may be able to offer a solution or direct you to the appropriate form or process to update your I-94.
It's important to address this issue promptly, as maintaining proper documentation is crucial for your stay in the U.S. Ensure you keep all your documents and communication with USCIS in order, and follow their instructions carefully to avoid any complications.
