What happens to the I-94?

[Precious 2]

Hi folks,

My AOS process went well etc and I was approved without interview. I now have my conditional GC and I can travel as much as I want (as if.. )

Anyway, I still have the I-94 from the K-1 entry.

What happens to the I-94 when I am to travel abroad? Do I have to show it, keep it, give it back or the GC would be enough?

Anyone?

Thanks!

As far as I am aware, once you have the green card that is all you need to leave and re-enter the country (along with your passport of course). The I-94 isn't needed once you have the green card.

I was under the impression that they usually take your I-94 at the AOS interview?

I could be wrong though. Someone else can clarify

Thanks guys!

K84 I was approved w/o interview, that's why I still have it with me. But I guess they won't need it, anyway.

But I will follow Olesea advice and keep it somewhere safe!

Congratulations on getting the GC without interview. I believe that the GC is only good for re-entry in the US. If you travel to other countries (such as Mexico), you will need to follow the rules as a Brazilian citizen and may be required to obtain a visa.

My wife ran into a problem when changing planes in Mexico when she had Advance Parole. They did not care that she was married, with AP, or applying for GC to the US. They detained her in a secured area until 5 minutes before departure. It was a very miserable experience.

They must have been REALLY afraid she would immigrate illegally to Mexico.

Yes, it was pretty ridiculous and extremely rude the way Mexican immigrations treated her.

you don't need the i-94 as long as you have your green card. it is also up to the IO to take the i-94 at the interview. i had an interview online the OP and she didnt take my EAD or my i-94.

I'm sorry to hear that. It looks like they are behind the Italians when it comes to harass brazilian citizens at customs.

But I will take your advice and if I ever need to go to Mexico, I will apply for a visa!

Thanks!
