Replacing a Lost or Stolen Form I-94
Complete Form I-102 with an explanation for the loss of the Form I-94, including the admission number. Attach a photocopy of the lost Form I-94; International Services should have a copy if you do not. Obtain a money order (cash and checks not accepted) for $ 320 payable to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. If USCIS lost the form, a fee is not required, but an explanation of how it was lost is necessary. Submit the information to: USCIS - Nebraska Service Center P.O.Box 87102 Lincoln, NE 68501-7102 Note: USCIS will replace your I-94, returning the form to the address indicated on the I-102. This procedure may take several months.
