When I heard about the paperless i94, a feeling of "doom" came over me. I knew it could never work. As expected it did not work.
I have a bit of a "sixth sense" about these things. When I "feel" something is about to fail, it usually does. I am one of those people who can say, "the phone is about to ring", just before the phone rings.
I entered the USA on May 10, 2014 with my foreign fiance. We tried to go to get Social Security Number on May 12. They wanted the i94. The officer could not pull up any evidence that she ever entered the USA. We got married on May 13. We went to the Social Security Admin again on May 22. They wanted the i94 still. The officer still could not pull up any evidence that she ever entered the USA.
It is now June 10, and we still cannot retrieve the info.
We have since left the USA. Had we stayed we could do nothing. We would not be able to get a "green card" or change status if we had bothered. 90 days would have passed, and she would have been out of status.
What do I do now? We cannot obtain an i94. Her social security card is in limbo.
All I wanted was the social security number for her. We could have been married anywhere. The reason we went through all that trouble was for our honeymoon in California and to get an SSN.
