I finally got the the approval notices for I-485 today. :)

The notice says to bring - quote - "your Arrival/Departure Record (form I-94)" - [does not say originals]
I have copies of all of the I-94 since I entered the US, but not the originals.

I have, though, the originals of the left bottom part of all of the approval notices (I-94 receipt for personal records).

What do I do now? Can I go to infopass with copies of all of the I-94s plus originals of all of the other evidence? Or i do need I-94 originals?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Take whatever original(s) you have with you (like bottom part of H1 approval notice). At this point (as you are approved), it's not something you need to worry too much about.

You would need only the last/current I-94
(usually the white I-94)
---------- it is NOT must that person need WHITE I-94, one can have I-94 that he/she got with H1 extension/transfer approval notice and that is not WHITE and may be having WHITE I-94 that got expired, just take the latest I-94 what you have it does not matter if it is white or not white

Thanks for your help everybody.
Still, I'm having a problem in understanding what to do. :confused:

I do have the last I-94, but it's a copy. And I do have the original of the LEFT bottom part of the approval notices (I-94 receipt for personal records, the one attached to I-94).

Am I good to go or I need to ask for a replacement I-94 before I go for infopass?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had lost my latest original I-94 too. I have never left the country after my I485 was filed, so my latest I-94 copy was sent with my applicattion. The officer who approved my case asked for them, and I told him I lost them, he said it was OK since they have copies on the file anyway.
From what I hear from this forum, I think I was very lucky. He trully was a nice guy and did NOT ask for too much. He asked to see my driver's licence, my passport, the employment verification letter, and the I-94.
I had stacks and stacks of documents with me (as people say on these forum say, tax returns, w2, payslips,etc.) and he did not ask for any of them.
I think we all get worked up and stressed up by what other people have experienced in their interviews, its amazing. Mine was a complex labor cert substitution, AC21, divorce, arrest record and restraining order case and I was sweating bullets, but it went fairly smooth. I knew I had NOT done anything to be ashamed of other than being a human being with flaws.
I think if you filed everything HONESTLY it helps.
I wish you the same luck I had.
Take whatever you have.
God Bless and Good Luck.
 
you are talking about 485 INTERVIEW?
The other guys are talking about passport stamping after 485 APPROVAL.
These two things are totally different.

According to the person that filed all of my applications (L1A, I-140, I-485), it was sent to Immigration together with the paperwork. Before giving it to him, I made copies front and back.

---- did you gave him orignal? you need to send COPY of I-94(front and back) with I-485. ask the person if he has orignal or explain to officer if asked when you go for stamping.

** Better keep the Affidavit with you that states your name, DOB, Latest I-94# and state that your original I-94 was submitted to USCIS.
