Hi
I'm seeking advise on my conundrum. I visited my family in the US in the winter of 2010. Upon leaving, I had no clue I was supposed to return my i94 card to the airlines personnel, and the lady did not ask this of me. I returned home without knowing where to drop the i94 card off safely and properly.
I sought the embassy's advise and gave instructions to return it to a CBP office in London, KY. Again due a lack of understanding, thinking it was London, KY postcode number was a legitimate address in the United Kingdom. I submitted a lot of supporting evidence that I have resumed work in my home country and submitted it to that address together with i 94 to the correct address but the wrong country.
The only smart thing I did do was make a set of copy of the all the above documents and also my i 94 card and my boarding passes.
3 years later, i now have to go back to the US for a interview at a university. I heard from a friend that i could be deported (due the above mistake) if i arrived in the US despite my passport contains many stamp inks of me being at my home country. I tried to rectify my initial mistake but it was submitted wrongly and lost in the mail. I tried calling my local embassy and the CBP info center but unable to reach anyone.
What should i do? Will this result it in me not being allowed to enter the US despite having a valid visa for my interview? is there anything i can do to help/ease my entry into the US without any problems?
Please advise. Thank you in advance
