Hello to everyone

If possible can someone help to answer this question, I'm filing forms I-130 and I-485 along with the rest of forms for AOS, but I lost the form I-94, I am sending the copy of the stamp and visa in the passport but not sure if this will be sufficient, I was admitted in LA 16 years ago legally

Do I need to request copy of the I-94 or just with the entry stamp and visa in passport is enough, please advice

Thanks

Hi A&B

Thanks for the link and sorry if I keep asking the same question, it might be obvious for you but I know I can request a copy, my question is if that copy is required or the prof I have can be counted as valid (passport with entry stamp, date and visa)

if yes it would save me 4 months waiting and $380,00

Thanks

What other document do you have that will show that they were lawfully admitted to the US after being inspected by an immigration officer? The Form I-94 fulfills this purpose:

Perhaps some other VJ members have some possible solutions.

I do have the passport with the visa and stamp of entry when I was inspected by the immigration officer, I've heard that this would be enough prof but I want to make sure, I'm ready to send the package and I'm covering all the basis, sometimes other people go through the same scenario and I was hoping to hear from them, even though no case is identical some shared experiences can help to be prepared.

Thanks

Hola, Luis --

Try calling the CBP port where you were admitted, ask for the shift supervisor, explain the situation, and ask how they might help or what ideas they have. Sixteen years is a long time to be expected to hold on to an I-94.

If they're too busy or grumpy to want to help you, call several hours later, or call another port office.

If you're told that your passport stamp should be sufficient, document the date, time, and name(s) of the CBP agents who have said that, and include this information in your AOS package.

If calling one or more CBP ports fails (and it shouldn't, if you persist), call the USCIS number and insist that your call be escalated to an actual immigration officer. (Do NOT let the front-line no-nothings put you off or delay you with their rote questions -- they're required to escalate your call upon your request.) Let us know what answer you get.

If you can please clarify what "AOS Parent of a Citizen" menas, one of us can move your thread to the proper VJ forum, where perhaps a wider audience can contribute. (Avoid starting a new thread -- we can move this one. :) )

Good luck to you, and welcome to the forum!

hi

you'll need a copy of the i94, you can file the i102 to request a copy of the i94

usually it's not enough, maybe one or two officers may accept it but he proof always is the i94

Thanks for your input, my AOS is based on a citizen ( my son ) filing for a parent ( me, his dad ) if you can move this to the proper or better forum it will be greatly appreciated, I will keep updating the post with the latest news as I go over the process, next step is call the CBP in LAX and try to see what they say, another option I have is to send the packet with the support documents I have, ( passport with visa and entry stamp ) and file form I-102 in the mean time, hopefully I will have the copy in hand for the interview.

Luis
