I-94 replacement. A friend of mine who holds asylee status has

lost his I-94 card. Can he get a replacement and where can he

get one?

Thanks
 
One obvious choice is to contact the asylum office.

I think Kelvin managed to obtain a new I-94 from the LA district office (not asylum office) not too long ago, so I hope he can offer some insight.

u may click here and get the information u want

the only difference is that u can't get ur new I-94 for free since u lot the original one. U will pay like 100 bucks for a make-up card.
From my previous post u'll find the link of I-94 Replacement form from BCIS.

Good luck!:)

Kelvin, did you receive your I-94 replacement? if yes, does it have an expiration date ? Also does it have any kind of stamp that indicates asylum?

Thanks

yes, I received the replacement card on that day. My new card indicates my current status without expiration date.

Forgive me for not undestanding this clearly. Perhaps you can clarify this:

You got your new I-94 from LA district office or at the airport? and they charged you $100 for it?

Thanks
 
Another I-94 problem

I have another asylee friend who recently got married and hence her last name has changed. Her I-485 has not been approved yet. She has already obtained a new SS card, new DL with her new last name. Does she have to pay $100 to update her name change in I-94?

Thanks

The way i understand the process is as follows: once you are granted asylum you are supposed to receive I-94 that is valid indefinetly and should be free of charge. However if it is lost i think it should only cost 11 bucks to get a replacement. Now, when you travel you have to be careful: do not yield this I-94 and when you come back do not make them give you a new one-year I-94. They once tried to issue me a new I-94 and wanted to charge me 11 bucks when i came back from canada. However, as soon as they realized that I have an I-94 that is valid indefinitely they just let me in without a new I-94.

I got my new I-94 from LA district office without spending any money 'cause BCIS issued me an incorrect card initially

u know what? when they gave me the new I-94 card, at the same time, they also stamped "Asylum Granted to Indefinate" on my national passport.
Therefore, I dont need to worry if they take away my I-94 card when I come back.
 
Ok, so I went to the local district office with my friends today. If you lose your I-94 or need to correct the name on the card because of marriage etc. you still have to pay $100 processing fee and your have to mail it to the Service Center. The @#$%s said local district offices cannot issue I-94s unless BCIS made a mistake.

Please let me know if you guys know how long it takes to get a replacement I-94 from BCIS TSC in Mesquite , TX.

Thanks

So far in Texas they`re processing replacement of I-94 cards for those who filed on or before 08-06-2002.

I contacted BCIS in Houston TX,where my asylum interview was conducted.I explained to the agent that i surrendered my I-94 to US customs when i came back from Europe.

The agent told me to fax copies prooving that i was granted asylum at that location and other immigration documents available.

She said that i should be getting another card within 7 to 10 days.

I din`t really need the card but i was just exprerimenting to see whether i can get it.

I went ahead and faxed the documents.
 
Sessenga,

Did you contact BCIS local office at Greenspoint or the Asylum office in Houston? Greenspoint office is full of "BS."
