I94 from 20 years ago (merged)

[PaulyBar1982 0]

Hi, I am trying to do paper work for my mother. I need her I94 that was given 20 years ago. I went to CBP website and I requested a FOIA to get her I94. This was done last May. When I go to the website and log in my requests shows that is in the Assignment phase. What does this mean? Anybody has had this experience before? Do you know how long this take approximately? This is the only document I need to request her. Can I sent paperwork without I94? Please help!

 

Thank you so much!

Hello.  Can you provide some details?  What are you trying to submit?  What country?  Why do you need the old I-94?

I am trying to get the records for I94. In order to submit I-130 andd I-485 they are asking me the number of I94. My mother is in the country right now. The only thing I'm in need is that information. I requested the information through CBP website and it tells me is in the Assignment phase. I don't know what that means.

Hi all,

 

I'm preparing to submit I-130 for my mother. The only thing I am missing is the I-94 number. She overstayed 20 years ago and I don't have that information. I requested I94 information in the CBP website but I don't know how long this will take. Anybody has any advice? Can I apply without the I94 number?

 

Thank you!

To adjust you need to show she entered with inspection.

Does she have the old passport she used to enter?

She has overstayed since 20 years ago, or she overstayed 20 years ago, left and has traveled back since?

She overstayed and never left.

Yes but it only shows the date she should have stayed until.

In her old passport it shows the date she should have stayed until. But she lost her I94.

You could leave that field blank and mention the number is not available.

 

If the package is accepted, you would get an RFE asking for that info. That would give you time to get an answer from CBP.

I have been waiting for that answer since May. I'm not sure if I should run the risk of not having it...

The worst that could happen is having the package rejected.

They cannot deny based on that missing piece of information and they would actually have access to it.
