Hi Everyone,

About to file for adjustment of status. My problem is I lost my passport which had my tourist (B1/B2) visa in it. I had replace my passport and was able to replace my I-94 as well But since I have overstayed i cant replace my visa, I guess my questions is if its going to be enough with my I-94 to prove that i entered the country legally, i do have my visa number but not the date it was issue and its asking me for it on my I485 form.

Thanks in advance for your help

What about contacting to Embassy to get the further details for your visa issue date, etc etc?

I comunicated via email with the american embassy in my country and got no where, they basically told me they couldnt help me with this matter.

however i got a letter from the the ministry of foreing relations of my country stating the day i left the country to come the Us. will this help?

thanks for responding.

I would leave that space blank on the I-485 and attach a separate sheet explaining that you don't have that information because you lost your visa. As long as you have your (reissued) I-94 and tell the truth, I think you should be fine.
