Gurus Please Help!!!

My I-94 card that I got when I entered U.S is lost.
I got my I-485 approved and I have to go to the local INS (Milwaukee) for passport stamping.

Has anybody had any similar experiences. What will the local INS do in such a case. Is there any other document that I can take which will be a substitute for my missing I-94.Any input is appreciated.

FYI..I have all the other I-94s that came along with my H1-Bs and also have a photocopy of the missing I-94.

Thanks.
 
I think you should just go to INS with the copies of I-94 and ask them.

Since the I-94\'s are probably recorded in their system, I am sure it is not a problem for stamping.
 
don\'t worry

the procedure is so formal and IO just collects whatever is in, if she asks you - tell her that you\'ve lost
 
I think u need to get a duplicate passport

I think you need to get a duplicate passport from Indian consulate, I would suggest better consult ur lawyer. My friend had similar problem hwent to Indian consulate and explained them then he got a temporary passport for a year on which he had done stamping.
 
How does duplicate passport help ?

How does duplicate passport help ? I did get a new passport last year that does not have my visa.
 
I applied for new I94 card for my wife

Hi

Same situation happened to my wife. She lost her I94 card and as per our attorney\'s suggestion we applied for a new card by paying $85 bucks. There is separte form available for this. go to immigration site and check the correct form. But I don\'t know whether still we can get our passport stamped with out showing this I94 card.

thanks
 
the reason I told you don\'t worry

because I didn\'t have it myself doing stamping in Chicago. When I crossed US border back on AP I was told that I94 is optional and didn\'t file it, got stamp in my passport and AP. IO didn\'t even ask about I94.
Good luck
