What replaced the I-94?

[no one 2 0]

Hi again,

So many forms ask for the I-94 to be included. My fiance has been here twice and never got one. It hasnt' been a problem and it is my understanding that it wasn't replaced by any other form. Just that with the VWP and/or scannable passports it was a way of eliminating paper and it is all in the computer systems now. Can someone please elaborate on this for me? Specifically how it would effect him getting a SS number when he arrives here on his K-1 but before we are married. (On the vj guide it says the SS office needs a copy of it.)

Thanks again.

K-1 NEEDS an I-94. They are given one on entry. It is required to include a copy front and back of the I-94 to file AOS.

Make sure he gets the I-94 at the airport or he will have to go back and get one. The cost is covered in the price of the air fair.

VWP does not get I-94, there used to be the I-94W but I think that is now completed online.

K-1 will get the I-94, it's white. They'll ask him on the plane if he needs one.

Wendy, your fiancee will have to fill out the I-94 when he enters the US with his K-1 visa. So far he he has entered the country under the Visa Waiver Program, which only applies for non-immigrants, hence his never having to fill out an I-94. At the time he enters the US to stay, he will be doing so under a completely different set of circumstances.
