Not sure exactly where to put this one. My fiance and I came in thru San Francisco on 3 Jan. Somewhere between San Francisco and Oklahoma City she lost her fiance visa. We have looked everywhere and have called the lost and found at each airport trying to locate it and also the airline. Does anyone know what we need to do in order to get the process going for a replacement??????? Any help would be great.

If she lost her visa, that means she also would have lost her passport, since the visa is affixed to one of the passport pages.

Did she lose her passport and visa or did she lose the I-94?

She lost the passport and visa.

First of all... try to go the closest Korea embassy and get a passport replace as soon as possible... because without a passport, you won't be able to get married...
You also need to contact USCIS ASAP as well

You need:

A duplicate Passport

A duplicate 1-94

The Visa is irrelevant.



And why would that be????

I had to show my passport in order to get a marriage license...i have read that alot on here...not sure if that applies to all states or not

Boiler,

Because the passport/I-94 is the only plausible and recognizable piece of identification that a foreign Fiancé has. That was the first thing the registrar asked for in my request for a marriage license.

To the OP, search around for the passport, to include the airports and police stations. If you cannot locate the passport, well, contact the nearest Korean Embassy (in D.C.) or the Consulate nearest you. Good luck mate.

How many USC's have passports? And they seem to manage to get married OK.

You have of course to provide evidence of who you are, but I have never heard of a Passport being a requirement. I certainly did not, used my DL from memory.

Boiler,

The USC can of course, use a DL to prove identity, but, what about the foreign Fiance?

Without a passport, what else can they present for identification?

This is a critical problem for the OP. Even with the new passport, there is no proof of legal presence in the US. He will need to get some serious attention from USCIS, perhaps with an Infopass appointment, to revalidate his Fiance's authorization here.

The USC may not have to produce a passport but your foreign fiance will have too. They need proof of evidence for both you and your fiance.

Her DL?



See above, or whatever else she may have, probably easier to use something with a picture.

Hence the need to apply for a duplicate I-94 which evidence's that.



Serious? Why?

Revalidation of what? Just needs evidence of legal presence - I-94. The critical issue is its need when applying to adjust status.

Boiler,

Get real, she just arrived 3 days ago, and lost the passport in the interim, how will she produce a drivers license? (for clarification, there is no way she has or can obtain a DL at this stage.)

They need to do as suggested above....read the above info again.


Edit: for clarification..

she could use her DL from her home country.... if she has one...

MarilynP,

Accepted as positive ID in the United States? No freaking way. Surmising the ID was in english, it would still be questioned.

Hell, you can't even get a SS number without considerable hassle, with passport and I-94 in hand.

What makes everyone think that a foreign ID (drivers license) would be acceptable, even in the rare event it were in english?

USA issued ID or passports are generally the only acceptable ID. Period.

It's true she'll most likely need her passport in order to get married, the passport is a foreign's only ID outside of their country. It's a VERY important document and she should get it replaced ASAP.

The problem is, she'll also need her I-94 and her visa, as copy of those are required by USCIS when filing for AOS. I'd suggest checking in her embassy, then with USCIS, to see what can she do, again, ASAP.

I assumed the OP was from Oklahoma and here are the requirements for ID to obtain a marriage license for that State..
