I would like to ask you guys, how can i get i-94 replacement, what form should i fill up and how long does it takes to get the new one?

Do you actually need this i-94 if you want to travel using AP?

Thanks so much.
 
Hello ynn,

I've been meaning to reply back to your posting, and apologize for the delay.

The answer to your first question is - YES. There is a way of getting an I-94 replacement. Now, you haven't told me your situation, so I can't get into specifics with you, but the form you need to look at is Form I-102, Application for Replacement/Initial Nonimmigrant Arrival-Departure Document. This form is for all nonimmigrants to apply for a new or replacement Form I-94 or I-95 Nonimmigrant Arrival-Departure Document. The is is $155.

I know the form says nonimmigrant, but I was an asylee the time I filed to get my I-94 replaced (in 2002) and I used that form. Upon returning to the US from a visit in Canada, the uninformed (and ignorant) immigration officers confiscated my old I-94 that had Asylee status with Indefinite work and issued me a new I-94 valid for 1yr with a Refugee status. I included a photocopy of the original I-94, the new I-94, copy of my asylum grant, and a letter explaining why I was entitled to a new 1-94 with Ayslum and Indefinite status. It took about 6 months, but I got called in to the local INS office to get my new card issued.

I suggest you contact a lawyer or immigration consultant if you are uncertain. I am merely sharing my experience with you.

Goodluck.
 
I-94 name correction --- fee or not?

I extended my B visa, but the new I-94 has my name wrong. Since it is not my fault, I don't think there is a fee for the name correction (replacement of I-94), right?

Thanks
 
That is correct. You do not have to include the fee if it is a CIS mistake/error. The directions that come with the form details the exact steps you need to take in your situation.

Good Luck.
 
time to replace I-94 - PLEASE HELP!!!

I just realized that I have lost my I-94. I've been reading the messages and I think I can get a replacement by submitting form I-102. However, the lawyer at my husband's office (we are at the last step of getting our GC although I currently have an H-1 valid until April 2005) told him that I have to submit form I-824 to get a replacement (and the processing time for this form is almost 2 years!!) Is this true?

I have to travel outside the country on December. Could you please advice what can I do? I live in New Jersey so I understand I will have to request a duplicate with Vermont Center. How long will it take to get a new I-94?
 
My brother's I-94 is damaged from left corner so 3 numbers are missing. He needs to apply for AOS application. Does he need to get a new one or just attached a copy of damaged one and leave the i94 column blank on I-485 application.
 
After I-94 replacement

I am married to a American Citizen and we got married filed a i-130 and got approved but the letter says" The evidence indicates that he or she is not eligible to file an adjustment of status", I have no criminal record and came to EE.UU legally with a I-94 in 2000, but I lost the I-94 (I have my passport) After that I filed for a I-94 replacement and got it. Now what I do next if everything is approved and ready, should I go with my husband and the approved letters to Immigration?
