HOW TO LOCATE MISSING I-94 NUMBER FOR MARRIAGE PETITION

[olesh 3]

Hi everyone, the feds don't have my most recent i-94 on the website. They have an earlier land entry, not my most recent. This poses problems for my petition because I may want to travel while waiting for my interview. I looked online - wrong i-94 (date of entry is my second most recent, not my most recent). Called the deferred inspection site, and two officials said 2 diff things - one said dont worry about it, uscis will figure it out, and another said they cant look up my most recent number over the phone. i have one final option of filing the I-102, but its $330 and there is no guarantee they will locate the right i-94. this is all a moot point normally, but i think i might want to travel outside the country while waiting for my interview, meaning i need my most recent i-94 (with the second most recent, i will be out of status technically at the time of filing for AOS, so can be barred from re-entry after i leave.)

does anyone have any advice? should i drive down to the deferred inspection site? should i file the i-102?

help!

Hi,

Have you tried another combination of his names? For instance: The name is John Lopez Brown. Try the last name as LOPEZ BROWN or the first name as JOHN LOPEZ and any other possible combination.

I know this before CBP instructed me to do so and that's how I found out I have three different records due to this difference in the way they write our names at the POE.

As of now I am mailing them in Ohio to fix my records because my last departure was not recorded and apparently they consider I am still in the US when I am not. I don't want any issues by my interview day or even POE since by then it would be wrongly consider I overstayed!!

You can call and make an appointment to go to the Deferred Inspection Site of your convenience. Please find the list here: http://www.<span>cbp...94-instructions

They told me I should look for their location but I am not in the States though. In my case they also say that I don't need to do anything if I had a commercial airline as my carrier and it could be easily fixed at the POE by providing them the evidences (Ticket in my case), but anyways I am sending a letter to Ohio just in case and see if they can fix it. I got this address and instruction on https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/752/~/i-still-have-my-i-94!!

I hope you get it fixed soon!!
