Some point you need to go to your home country to get the most latest H1b stamped in your passport.

If you have not violated your H-1 status, then you are entitled to a new I-94, otherwise, you'd have to depart the U.S. to pick up a new H-1 visa and the new I-94 issued at the airport would be for a longer time, conforming to the new H-1 petition.
