hi everybody,i have a problem-my family was here on b2(tourist) visa.now my relative's flight back is in 5 days and he seems to have lost his I94!What can i do?can i send him back and file for a new I94 myself or does he have to stay here until he gets a new I94?will it be a problem at the airport?if he goes back and i file the I94 from here,will there be a problem in him coming back?

thanks in advance,i'm sure someone here can help me!any help will be appreciated.

dont worry goosfraba

I was in the same situation. Just go to your airlines with plenty of extra time and tell them you have lost your I-94. they will issue a duplicate I-94 and make sure you save all your departing boarding passes for future visit to US. Just in case to prove that you had left the country on time and had not overstayed. No need to worry. Lot of people loose their I-94.

good luck!!

hey 24_7

thank you.you are a godsend.what if a police report has already been filed that it was lost?should i present this at the airport too?thanks

It don't see a reason why not. It wouldn't hurt, makes your scenario even comfortable or if you have time go to the Immigration office at the airport and explain the situation.(esp if your relative is not proficient in English). They will most probably tell you that if u ve not overstayed you are fine. Most of the International Airports have an INS office.

thanx buddy.you made my life a lot simpler.cheers
