I-94

[sweettweety 0]

What will happen to one's I-94 card attached to one's passport if you already got approved for your AOS without interview? Can I detach the card myself or just let it stay there? What about if i want to travel out of the country? Is the greencard enough to show for me to re-enter the US?

Yes, and Yes.

Once you have green card you can remove the I-94 card since you are no longer considered a non-immigrant, immigrants and Lawful Permanent Residents do not get an I-94 when entering the country, and also if you did go to an AOS interview the officer there would have removed the I-94.

Yes the green card is all that is needed to re-enter the country, if your name changed you may want to have a copy of marriage certificate with you when re-entering the country to show the name change from what is in the passport to the name on the green-card.

heck, i never even thought about the 1-94. it's still there and they didn't take it out when i crossed the other day.

i had my marriage certificate but she didn't even ask to see it, she just scanned my passport & GC, asked me how long i'd been away and that was it. and i must say, thank goodness for US citizen & GC holders lines at Pearson, especially on a Saturday morning when all the charters are going out! LOL

Just keep the I-94 and next time you travel out of the US, give it to people at the gate as you normally would. That way it goes back to USCIS. Next time you enter the country, you won't need an I-94 at all!

The Green Card is all you need, and you can even get in the "US Citizens" line instead of the one for dirty foriegners.
