F-1 filing AOS

[Danni 0]

Hi everyone-:

On the I-130 form it asked for my I-94 number, however I am an F-1 therefore free to travel to and fro. I have four I-94 cards (photocopies) including my initial card that I received when I first entered in 2004 and also my most recent one from 2007 which do you suggest they are referring to??

Also as an F-1 I do not have an A#, I have a Sevis number should I include this number anywhere on my applications or perhaps on the rear of my passport photos??

Thanks,

Have a good one!

The most recent I-94 is what is being referred to.

Look on reverse side of I-94, the POE may have written an A# there, if not, then note "NONE" for A#

I would just write name on the back side of passport pictures.

You'll only get an a number as an F-1 if you applied for OPT. Like YuAndDan says, put NONE.

Ignore the SEVIS number.

As an F-1 you need to send in copies of your I-20 though, so that they know you've maintained your student status up until filing.

don't forget that the I-94 also says D/S (duration of stay) which is as long as your I-20 is valid. I remember that somewhere you are meant to put in how long the I-94 is valid.

What do you mean you have 4 I-94??

I am on L1, also free to travel back and forth like you, but you have to give your I-94 to the airport of departure when you leave and then get one back upen re-entering the US!

I would be very careful NOT showing the old I-94's you have.. because it means you didn't report your departure to USCIS, which is not good...

She has photocopies of them, not the originals.

The International Student Office usually makes you bring in any new I-94s to make copies of them.

F.Y.I...As i stated in my post I take photocopies of all immigration documents!! Therefore by (photocopies) I meant not the original rather a photocopy of each of my I-94's!! I understand the fact that you must submit your I-94 upon departure from the U.S. thats a very basic principle any F-1 or other visa holder ought to comprehend! Thanks for your interest though!
