If you don’t file or properly manage your I-94 (Arrival/Departure Record), there can be serious immigration consequences.
Here are some potential issues:
1. Unlawful Presence
If your I-94 expires and you stay in the U.S., you may begin accruing unlawful presence, which can lead to:
-
3-year ban if you overstay more than 180 days
-
10-year ban if you overstay more than 1 year
2. Inability to Extend or Change Status
-
USCIS generally requires a valid I-94 to process extensions or changes of status (e.g., from B-2 to F-1).
-
An expired or missing I-94 can make you ineligible for future immigration benefits.
3. Denial of Future Visas
-
When you apply for a new visa at a U.S. consulate, they may review your I-94 history.
-
Past overstay or status violations can lead to visa denials.
4. Complications When Leaving/Re-entering the U.S.
-
If the I-94 wasn’t filed correctly (especially for land entries or CBP errors), your departure may not be recorded.
-
That can create problems when trying to re-enter, as CBP may assume you overstayed.
5. Loss of Status
-
If you're in the U.S. on a temporary visa (like H-1B, F-1, etc.), and your I-94 expires, you lose your legal status, even if your visa stamp is still valid.
6. Difficulties with Employment or School Enrollment
-
Many employers and schools rely on I-94 to verify lawful presence.
-
An expired or missing I-94 may result in termination from a job or school suspension.
