If they took your I-94 out of your passport you will need AP to return to the US.

A K3 visa is a multi entry visa.... the above statement about the I-94 is wrong..... as long as your K3 visa is still valid then you can use it to travel and return.....

K3 is a multi entry visa, I am surprised that the officer said that.

Either he was confused and thought he was looking at a K-1 visa or there is somethig that changes with teh K-3 status after the interview while you are in process for the greencard. I would not assume because the K-3 is a multiple use visa his advice is wrong. I would definatly get confirmation before leaving the country esp since you are so close to being approved for AOS.

Above atatement isn't wrong!!They took my wife and daughters I-94 at the AOS interview and told us we'd have to get AP to leave and return to the US.

K3 may be multiple entry but if you don't have the I-94 you may go but you aren't getting back in!

You do not need a I-94 in your passport to enter the US if you have a multi entry visa.... You have to complete a new i-94 on your return as the old one will be removed at the check-in if it is still in your passport... having an AP you still have to complete a new I-94 on your return...

At the check-in desk if asked you just have to tell them that immigration took your I-94 and that you have a K3 visa that allows you entry to the US....

YOU DO NOT NEED AP IF YOU HAVE A VALID K3 VISA......

Call your Local International Airport and speak to a CBP officer and ask them.... I did just that 10 mins ago to Boston Logan airport... The officer said as long as you have a valid K3 you will be admitted... I also asked about the I-94 and he said that as the I-94 would be removed before you left the US if it had not been removed by USCIS at interview... as it is a arrivals and departure record... that every person other than a USC or permenant Resident has to complete a I-94 on arrival in to the USA... If you have yet to be approved for AOS because of FBI namecheck then your K3 visa is still active until its expiry date...

This has been my experience as well. My wife and I have travelled both to Mexico and Canada using her K-3 and no I-94 (which was sent in as part of the AOS package). K3 is multiple entry and it hasn't been any problem for us.
