lost IAP-66

[meitinja]

Not sure if it falls into this category..
I had my green card interview yesterday. It didnt go well. Since I had entered this country with J-1 visa, officer requested to prove that I dont have 2 yr requirement. Fact that it is not written in my visa was not good enough.
I don't have my original IAP-66 form, back in 2002 due to my inexperience with immigration services I filed original while changing J-1 visa to B-1! This seems to be the biggest issue now. US embassy in my country referred me to contact exchange programm I came with, since they dont keep files from 2001 (i entered US 10/06/2001). When contacted, they replied that they dont have this information/copy either....
I recognize my fault on filing originals, but cannt understand that such an important document is nowhere to be found. Immigration needs proof to move forward, i have nowhere to go to get it....
Any suggestions would help
Thank you

regarding lost IAP-66

I have symphathy to you. I donot know how you can go to greencard interview. Are you in the states now? I lost mine and realized that problem when it is kind of too late. I called the school program officer, they donot have any records and are not willing to write any letter for me to prove that.

I also callled State council office and they donot have the record either. So there is nothing I can do about it. I donot have anything document to apply for waiver. I need to go back I guess.
