I will be getting a new passport with a new number(Yes, a new number) from my country's consular office. Question is Do I have to surrender my old i-94 and get a new I-94 ?

Just make sure your old passport is stapled to the new one and you should be fine.

Normally, the consulate will attach the old passport to the new one when you still have a valid visa in the old passport. Thus, you would not have to give up the visa or the I-94. Still, make a copy of everything before you submit it.

You should not have to get a new I-94 just because your passport number changes.
