Most recent i94 or older.

Hello everyone,

My husband and I got married in May and I was putting together his documents. He currently has DACA and is a visa overstay. The last time he left the US was in 1999 for eye surgery. His family is terrible at having kept any documents... He doesn't have the passport or his I-94 or anything from his most recent entry to the US. Literally no information other than his name and POE are 100% reliable.

My question is if anyone knows how I could locate his old passport number or I94 number other than an FOIA?

 

I am doing a FOIA request to CBP and I have the date (his mom gave me so we can't rely on it.) I was thinking of contacting the American Consulate in Mexico? Or would I contact the Mexican Consulate here in America maybe? Someone would have to have a record of this being issued but I don't know where to look first.

We do have an older I94 and passport from his entry around 1992 or so...If no records can be found of his 1999 entry (worse case scenario) would it be able to be argued these are proof of legal entry?

 

I know it is supposed to be your most recent I94 but technically do you just need proof of legal entry?

 

Thank you so much for any opinions or advice for us.

Can he check his emails for his old flight tickets?

 

Might have the passport number there

Do passport numbers in Mexico change from one passport to another? In my country, passport number is always the same. 

 

You cannot get the i-94 without the passport number. You would need the passport number first. For that, you probably need to contact someone in Mexico. The consulate in the US might be able to help you but that will depend on how they are.

No, they wouldn't have any. He was only about 15/16 and his parents didn't use email and etc. They have no flight ticket copies or anything, just the POE of LAX.

I have two passports. One was never used, he got it in 2013. The other is his original with visa and the numbers are completely different. No connections I can find in the numbers.
