I-94 arrival/departure record

[Greg L. 1]

My fiancée entered on a K1 visa and we were married and now I am filing the AOS. Her son (10 years old) came with her on a K2 visa. In Ukraine, at least at the time, children did not receive their own passport, they were added to their parents passport.

From what I've been told by the Customs and Immigration official, the I-94 records an admission record number (found on the I-94 form) for each passport holder. In other words, 1 passport gets a single I-94 record. Well this becomes a problem when you have 2 people on a single passport.

The first problem I had is at the Social Security office. They said they needed a UNIQUE I-94 record number for each person. Their system will not accept a I-94 number that has already been used. I went back to the Customs and Immigration Officer at the airport and his wonderful solution was to go back to Ukraine and get a passport for the child! Ridiculous...

Now on to my immediate problem. I'm filing the AOS and of course there are separate documents required for both the K1 and K2 holder. The documents require that I submit a copy of the I-94 record. I'm wondering if there are going to be problems since there is only 1 I-94 record number AND this admission record shows my spouses name, her son's name is not listed anywhere on this document (here again there "system" isn't designed to have 2 people on a single record).

Anyone else run into this problem?? If so, what was your outcome?

Thanks!

Along with your I-94 I would attach an additional scan of the passport showing the child's information listed on the parent's passport. Also adding a continuation sheet to further explain why it is the same I-94.
