Don't have i-94 but need it!
Hello,
I came to this forum because I am literally stuck on what I need to do now and USCIS as well as CBP have not been able to help me.
My wife entered into the U.S about 2 months ago on a K1 fiancee visa through Nogales, Arizona by land. During her CBP inspection her passport was stamped with an expiration date but she was NOT given a paper i-94. Obvioiusly my wife and I have since been married and we are ready to fill out the i-485 for AOS as well as the i-765 so she can work.
One of the required documents to fill out the i-485 is her i-94 form which she does not have. I am well aware that CBP had switched to electronic i-94s and that if my wife was not given a paper i-94 she should be able to retrieve it from the site. However the issue is I have tried forwards and backwards to get the i-94 to come up and it simply does not appear. Her travel record will show up on the site when I choose the "Need a History of your arrival & departures" and it coincides with the dates I mentioned above. However her i-94 record is not found. I was told to contact one of the deferred inspection sites on this list:https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/fi...tes_060817.pdf
Since my wife entered via Arizona I called the Phoenix Arizona office where I am greeted with a message saying that for all i-94 inquiries or changes we have to show up in person on Tuesday or Wednesday from 11AM to 2PM. This is a problem since we actually live near Chicago in IL. My next action from there was to call my Chicago CBP Deferred inspection site. An officer listened to my issues and he suggested I give the port of entry where my wife entered "Nogales Arizona" a call. So I went ahead and gave them a call and was transferred to a CBP officer that handles this. He told me over the phone that the only option we had available was to visit the Nogales Arizona point of entry in person so that they could print out a duplicate i-94. I explained to him that this would be extremely difficult as we live in Chicago IL and are not in Arizona. The CBP officer told me to try contacting USCIS to ask them for guidance as he had no other options to present to me. I have done this as well but they just keep telling me that I should contact the deferred inspection site. In this particular situation I feel extremely stuck and don't know what I should do now. HELP ME PLEASE!
