Forgot to return I-94 for J1 visa

[joeyandobie 0]

Hi everyone on visajourney website. I have another question to ask you about my I-94. I was in the U.S three years ago(2006) for work & travel program (J1 visa) and my visa valid till June 9th 2006 and 1 month of traveling till July 9th 2006. I left the U.S on the July 7th 2006 and entry to Thailand July 8th 2006. I reported my arrival back to my country to my program CCUSA with my copy of passport and, the pages the stamped out-in Thailand.

However, this is not seem to be a problem until I found out that I forgot to return my I-94, non of the airline officer, or the U.S immigration took out my I-94 that day I left July 7th 2006. After back to Thailand and report myself I decided to mail back the I-94 to this address

ACS-INS SBU

P.O. Box 7125

London, KY 40742-7125

U.S.A.

As for what I've read on the internet if I failed to send the I-94 I would be overstayed. Will this effected to my K1 visa? How would the immigration know that I was not overstayed?

Thanks for all your comment. And good luck for your visa!

Regards,

There is a stamp in your passport showing you did not overstay your visa. It happens a lot that I-94's are not removed at departure. I wouldn't worry about it.
