Candadians coming in with no I-94 & applying for AOS?

[Reba 2]

As a K1 you should have filled out the I-94 at the pre-clearance centre where you got your K1 visa. Whether it was a land border crossing or at the airport, you should have filled one in. If you did not, then call that particular border crossing/pre-clearance and tell them you need it and ask them how to go about getting one.

Reba is right. A Canadian entering on a K-1 visa will have the I-94 stapled into his or her passport. The I-94 will have a validity of 90 days - it is within those 90 days that the K-1 beneficiary and the US petitioner must marry. The I-94 is then used in the AOS process to prove that the K-1 beneficiary did satisfy the requirements of the K-1 Visa and is eligible to Adjust Status based on the K-1 visa. If the two people marry after the date on the I-94, then they are not allowed to adjust status based on the K-1, and the US citizen also needs to include an I-130 petition for spouse with the I-485 application.

If you did not receive an I-94 as a K-1, then yes, you do need to contact your POE in order to obtain it.
