Lost I94

[husigma 0]

We have filed all the necessary paper work but instead of submitting a I94(lost) I submitted my I-20 with an entry stamp. They said it was not valid and requested further evidence, so we filled out the form for them to find copy of the lost I-94. From that I have two questions:

1. Because the request for evidence have a deadline what the chances of them finding the I-94 before the deadline?

2. Will this request for evidence affect the work permit? I have send in all the document already, looking at this site my date has already past but the case status site on USCIS have not been change.

Thanks in advance.

You should have printed a new I-94, it's digital and can be pulled at anytime....

Thanks for the link but the I-94 is over 9 years old and also I lost my original passport. When I tried to get the old number they said it would take 2-3 months because it was under the old system.

You can apply to replace a lost paper I-94 by filing I-102, but it's pretty expensive ($330). The I-102 can usually be filed concurrently with the I-485, so I am guessing maybe you can file the I-102 (with fee) as the response to the RFE?

However, the page on your passport with the entry stamp should also be accepted as evidence of lawful entry.

if you came on a student visa,

there's a huge possibility the DSO at your school has a copy of that I-94 in his/her files.

reach out, inquire.
