Hi,

I'm new to this forum and I'd like some advise from some of you that have gone through the same situation or know of somebody who did. I came from Peru to Miami Airport with a tourist visa in 1990. I got my I.D. and social security the very first week I was here. To make the story short... I overstayed my tourist visa and met my now husband back in 1993, but we didn't get marry until 2003. We have two kids and I haven't been able to apply for the I-130 because I lost my passport with the I-94 card. I have unsuccessfully applied for a replacement for the I-94 card but twice my request have been denied.

If any of you have any advise as of how can I apply for my I-130 without the I-94 please let me know.. I'd appreciate it..

Thanks a lot

paisanita

Hiya,

oh boy...unsuccessful with a replacement application? You mean, you filed I-102 twice and they would deny it?

Did they give you a reason why?

You definitely would need replacement as it serves as evidence that you got inspected upon entry to the US and you didn't just "sneak in here" so that you can qualify for the AOS (even if you came as a tourist it does proof it).

I am not sure what advice to give, haven't heard about denied cases for I-94 replacement before as the I-102 form only gives you a few check marks to select why you would want to have a replacement, one of them being "lost/stolen".

Had to apply for a replacement myself (Same story, passport incl. visa/I-94 gone) that I got in 2001 but had no problems getting a new one.

Let us know the reasons they gave you for not granting your replacment request and how you applied for it, maybe there's something that can be done, changed etc. in order for you to start your AOS :)

Don't worry, if push comes to shove, see a lawyer and seek advice, there is many community based non profit organizations with immigration lawyers donating their time and you get an affordable consultation, advice. I went to Catholic Charities, am personally Catholic, but you don't have to be in order to get help, and they sure were a great at my location!!
