| Q: | How Do I Apply to Get a New Nonimmigrant Arrival - Departure Document? | | A: | If you are applying to replace a lost, stolen, or mutilated Form I-94 (Arrival-Departure Record) or Form I-95 (Crewman's Landing Permit), you must file Form I-102 (Application for Replacement/Initial Nonimmigrant Arrival - Departure Document). If the Form I-94 or Form I-95 is mutilated, attach the original form. If the Form I-94 or Form I-95 was lost or stolen, submit a copy of the original Form I-94. If you do not have a copy of your original Form I-94, please submit a copy of the biographic/photo page from your passport and a copy of the passport page that was stamped by a border inspector when you entered the country. If you cannot submit any evidence of your legal admission to the United States, please submit a full explanation and proof of your identity.If you are applying to extend your stay in the United States or change your immigration status, you will be asked to give BCIS your Form I-94. If you were not given a Form I-94 when you were legally admitted to the United States, please file Form I-102. You will need to give BCIS proof that you were legally admitted to the United States. You should file Form I-102 at the same time that you apply to extend your stay in the United States or change your immigration status.Forms are available by calling 1-800-870-3676, or by submitting a request through this system by submitting a request through our forms by mail system. After receiving Form I-102, read it carefully and note the documentation that must be submitted. Detailed information is provided in the accompanying instructions for Form I-102. For further information on filing fees, please see BCIS filing fees, fee waiver request procedures, and the BCIS fee waiver policy memo. |
