Hi All,
I left the US on dec 4th 2011 on an emergency basis . I had a white i-94 on my passport that was expired and I had forgotten to cut and attach the i-94 (valid till 2014) on my passport. at the airline counter, they correctly took away my white i-94 and in the rush I forgot about my i-94 on the i-797.
I have returned to the US couple of days back and did not face any questions at the port of entry (@SFO)
I understand that my departure record might be incorrect and need to correct it by sending my un-returned i-94. I checked the official site of Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) and I found that the information is a little conflicting

..but down below, it says..
If you failed to turn in your I-94 Departure Record, please send it, along with any documentation that proves you left the United States to:
Therefore, I am confused as to if I have to send my I-94 on my I-797 to the address mentioned on the CBP site.
Can anyone help?
