Lost I-94 - Travel next week

[swetharao]

My husband and I are travelling to India next week. We just found out that my husband lost my I-94 card. But we have the copy of it. Can we still travel? Is it an issue? What can be done? Please advise.

Leaving the country is not a problem. However, if you don't return the I-94, your exit entry will not be registered and when that I-94 expires, it will be considered as you are still in the country with illegal presence. To avoid all these complications, apply for a replacement I-94 and return it back with the required supporting documents to prove that you actually left the country on so and so date.

Follow theinstructions in the below link to get a replacement I-94 and how to return uncollected I-94 back to CBP.
