Visa Waiver I-94 help

[mikeyh]

Hi,

I recently returned from the states and am due to return very shortly. I have just noticed that my Visa Waiver I-94 is still attached in my passport.

I contacted the US Embassy here in the UK and they said I should take it with me,along with evidence that I did return home,IE bank Statements,return boarding pass etc and hand it in at immigration when I return to the US.Normally I would have to send it off to the ACS-USCIS to get it sorted out but that takes 8 weeks and I am meant to leave in 10 days.

My concern is it all seems a bit unsettling to know that the immigration officer may refuse me admission. Has this happened to anyone?Is there any advice you can give?

Thanks
MH

I returned to India once with my I-94. I happened to inform my employer (since I travelled on a B1 business visa)about the same and they have sent it to the US consulate in Chennai, India. I have travelled back to US 2 or 3 times after that incident and I didn't face any problems.

If my memory serves me right, this happened in May 2003. I returned back to India on May 31, 2003. After that I travelled back to the US in August 2003.
