Pls help, question of AP

[luckymachine]

I got 3 copies of the original AP approvals (with photo) from INS and my lawyer told me I should keep all of these by myself.

But when I entered US by using them at Detroit last week, the INS officer persisted in keeping one copy with herself and gave me other two copies, one of them got a stamp. Is this right? Who was wrong, my lawyer or INS? could this affect my next travel?

Thanks in advance,

Yes. Both are correct. All you need is the new stamped AP hereafterwards.

Just had a question:

When you use your AP to enter USA, do they give you a new I-94?

Thanks a lot.

Thanks jaxen. But what do you mean the new stamped AP? The INS will mail me later automatically or I need to reapply?

Here's the answer for muntasir:
Yes, I got a new I-94.

What Jaxen mean is that:

You just need to keep the one with stamp from Immigration officer at Detroit. When you go outside USA again, make a copy of this one and keep the original one. ALways provide the photocopy to immigration/airline when asked.

Thanks for your reply.
