Entered with inspection and lost the I-94?

I been reading in this forum and I found out that people who lost their old passport and their I-94 think that they will never be able to a Green Card through marriage without leaving the US and getting a 10 years ban.
That's not true, they can file for a replacement for the I-94 (the immigration authorities keep all the information on all the people that entered the US legally) and then it's very simple to get married and get a Green Card, without leaving the US and getting a ban.

It's easy to file for an I-94 replacement, it costs alittle but worths it. There's no need to have the old passport, the I-94 replacement and a blank passport is enough.

And on the new passport there's always the old passport number so it's good.

It's important for people who entered with inspection to know.

Thanks! I still have my I-94 but good to know!

So keep it because then you'll have to pay $320 for a replacement.
This is the I-102 form if someone is intersted.

I lost my passport with the original I-94

If I order the replacement I-94, would they track me down?!

They won't track you down.. just get a new passport and file for a I-94 replacement.

Thanks bn1

But how do you know they won't track u down?
