no expiration date on I-94

[Pappillon 0]

Hi everybody!

We are getting ready to send I-485 and I-130 on the 18th of this month. And we've got a couple of questions.

My I-94 doesn't have an expiration date. What do I do?

In the I-485, part 1, very last question: Expires on (mm/dd/yyyy) - what expires? status? I-94? what do I write?

Also, I came here 2,5 years ago on J-1 visa, and before it expired we got married, though it has been 2 years since my visa expired. But only now we can apply for I-485 and !-130, cause they cost sooo much money. Do you think it's gonna matter too much?

Please, I really need the answers!!!

Are you sure? This may seem like the case but the expiration date is what it says in black ink (on mine) under B2 on the stamp with the red being your entry date.

It's common for I-94s for things like a student visa to be issued with no fixed expiration date, but instead for "Duration of Status". This is often abbreviated "D/S". If your I-94 says "Duration of Status", or "D/S" on it, you should be able to write "D/S" on the I-485, and the immigration folks will know what this means.
