How to get a new I-94

[KHagen 0]

Ok, maybe I am missing something but when we tried to get a new Social Security Card and Texas ID both stated that we needed an I-94 that was not going to expire in September.

My question is how do we get a new I-94 (filling out a I-102 but we do not meet requirements)? This is driving me nuts right now. I am not sure if filling out the AOS will do this because it really does not state that they will send us a new one or not. Do we need to go down to the local USCIS office and get a new one?

Any help or website would really give me peace of mind. Thanks

You can't get a new I-94.

On an K-1 you should be able to get a SSN something like 75 days after you arrive. If not, you'll have to wait until you get an EAD.

The person who spoke to you at the SS office gave you some bad information I'm afraid.

forget about a new I-94.

You need an EAD or some other document extending your legal stay until you receive a green card.

Correct, filing I-102 only replaces a lost card, it does not extend it. K-1s should marry and file for AOS and EAD. Don't file for EAD before AOS, that will only get you an EAD card that expires the same time as your I-94.

Texas will accept EAD or Green-Card to apply for license.

Thank you. I am mailing the AOS tomorrow and then I will work on the EAD. The question is still how to get an extention on the I-94? There has to be something that we can do.

You can't get an extension on the I-94. It was given on the basis of the entry visa which was a K1 (90 days).

You cannot get an I-94 extension, but then again, you don't need to. As soon as AOS is submitted, you are legal to remain in the USA.
