Who qualifies

Nonimmigrants admitted to the U.S. whose paper Form I-94 was lost, stolen, or destroyed, or who need to correct a USCIS error on their document while maintaining lawful status.

The step-by-step roadmap

  1. 1

    Check CBP Records First

    Verify whether your I-94 is available online for free through the official CBP website before paying USCIS fees.

    Watch out: Applying with Form I-102 when an electronic I-94 can be retrieved online for free.
    Common rejection reason: Filing unnecessarily when electronic records are accessible directly from CBP.
  2. 2

    Gather Entry and Identity Proof

    Collect your valid passport, U.S. visa, entry stamp, and a police report if the original card was stolen.

    Watch out: Submitting poor-quality scans where dates or passport numbers are unreadable.
    Common rejection reason: Missing proof of lawful entry into the United States.
  3. 3

    Complete Form I-102

    Provide your biographical details, entry date, port of entry, and the reason for the replacement request.

    Watch out: Leaving required fields blank instead of using 'N/A' when appropriate.
    Common rejection reason: Unsigned application forms or incomplete historical entry information.
  4. 4

    Submit and Pay Fees

    File the completed form with USCIS along with your supporting documents and the filing fee.

    Watch out: Sending the filing to the wrong USCIS lockbox address.
    Common rejection reason: Incorrect fee payment amount or invalid payment method.
