Hi,

Our K-1 application was approved and I entered the US on 2 March. We got married on the 10th. Now I'm about to apply for Adjustment of Status and discover that I must have the I-194 which I filled in on the plane. I handed this over to the immigration guy in Atlanta along with my sealed envelope. He didn't return it to me!!! Any suggestions as to what I can do? I need this for everything - including applying for my social security number.

PLEASE HELP!!

Thanks,

Thanks for your responses. I called Customs & Border Protection and they gave me the number of their Atlanta office (my Point of Entry). I have to go there in person between Tuesday and Thursday to see the guy that deals with I-94s. I am hoping he will sort it out for me.

Advice: GUYS, MAKE SURE YOU GET YOUR I-94 HANDED TO YOU AT YOUR POINT OF ENTRY AND DONT LOSE IT!! Thankfully, I don't live a million miles away from Atlanta!

many thanks to all.

Hi there,

I'm very surprised they taken your I-94 from you.. I have flown into Atlanta countless times & i have never had my I-94 taken from me.

We first met online 2004, but things started to get serious in Dec 2007. Made my first visit to the USA in march 2008 for 2 weeks. Then returned again in Aug 2008 for 3 months.. Then i came back to the UK for 5 months to return back to the USA April 2009 for another 3months.

OK, further to my last post on here regarding the missing I-94, it's been a bit of a nightmare. First I was told by Customs & Border Protection that I would need to attend Atlanta to get the problem sorted out. I called a Mr Mobley in Atlanta who told me I don't need to go down there, but could go to my nearest airport (which is Charlotte). I phoned them and was told by a gentleman, who checked his computer, that my I-94 was not yet registered on the system and that I should wait another week before going up there and having another I-94 issued. I waited a week and called again, speaking to another guy. He checked and confirmed I was still not on the system and instructed me to come up to Charlotte Airport the next day to get a new I-94. I did this, and on arrival was told that they cannot issue a second I-94 as having two in the system would cause nightmarish problems down the line. They checked their systems and concluded that my I-94 form must have been lost by the guy in Atlanta as it still wasn't showing up on the system. They also checked other passengers on my flight and their I-94s had indeed arrived on the system. They said they would investigate and get back to me. I've been calling a particular officer regularly and she hasn't got any further with the investigation, apart from to confirm that I'm still not on the system. So, I made an appointment with my local USCIS Field Office, as I am pretty sure that the guy in Atlanta put my I-94 into the sealed envelope and sent it off to Dallas, or wherever they go. I explained the situation to the Field Office and they told me to sumbit my I-485 anyway, with a copy of my stamped passport and an accompanying letter explaining why there is no I-94. This I will do. Fingers crossed! What a pain. I can't even apply for a driving license without that form! I'm going slightly stir crazy at the prospect of not being able to work for at least another 3 months. Beware Customs & Border Protection - I have had as many different pieces of advice/information as individuals I have spoken to. If you deal with them, make sure you take the name of EVERYONE you speak to so that you can quote them to the next person you speak to. Will update again as soon as there is progress! By the way, I did get married, so they won't kick me out of the country if I can't keep up with the 90 day deadline, as I have shown "due diligence" according to Chief Sams, of Customs & Border Protection in Charlotte! Well, that's something I suppose!

Finally, success! After many conversations with various Customs & Border Protection people, one of them in Atlanta finally took responsibility and got this sorted out for me. Yesterday I was directed to Customs & Border Protection where I live. Due to their realisation that they had lost my I-94, I was given another one. Now I can move on. Advice for those who didn't receive their I-94 at POE, contact Customs & Border Protection at your local office. They will be able to issue another one. Good luck everyone, and thanks again for your input.

hey - usually CBP at yer local office == Secondary Inspection / Deferred Inspection Office - and these guys handle much on the I-94 in real time, face to face, across a counter - no need to make the telephone call - just find the closest office, and go (no appointment needed).

This type of office can also fix SAVE database problems, in real time, face to face.

Glad you got it all sorted !
