I-94

[TLC7986 0]

Can someone please tell me what I need to do from here. My wife (at the time my fiancee) came into the U.S. from the Philippines and was not given an I-94. Now, we're here trying to file for AOS and part of the requirement for the package is the I-94. Can you please tell me what our options are if she wasn't given one by the customs officer at port of entry? Thanks!

Did they stamp anything in the passport? (usually you fill out the I-94 on the plane and you fill it out) - sure you didn't misplace it in your paperwork?

I would contact the POE and see what they can do for you.

Are you sure about this? It's just that I can't conceive of how your wife was permitted entry without an I-94: it simply doesn't happen. I'd respectfully suggest she's lost it somewhere.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, She filled out the form on the plane. She turned over the paperwork to the customs officer but they just stamped her passport, asked her a couple questions and sent her off.

She states that no form was ever stamped on her passport but rather that her passport was just stamped upon and she was sent on her way. But I know what you mean. I myself can't conceive how she was sent thru without being given an I-94.

That's pretty odd. She better call her POE and ask for a copy of I-94. I think you need to pay for it. Or you could explain to them that she didn't even got one. The IO usually staple it on the passport. It is a white card that she needs to fill out once checked at her POE. It is stapled just beside the visa.

In case anyone may be interested in resolving this issue at a later time. If they don't issue you an I-94, the best bet is to go to your nearest Customs office in your place of residence. We did so and they told us that we're not the first and that it happens, not so common, but it does. They pulled her up on the computer and saw it and issued her the I-94. Thanks to you guys for your quick replies!

Best Wishes!
