Hi,

An application for replacement I-94W can be filed with the USCIS. This is important as it shows legal entry to the U.S., required for filing adjustment of status application within the U.S. based on marriage to a U.S. citizen.

You will need to file an I-102, Application for Replacement/Initial Nonimmigrant Arrival/Departure Document with USCIS. If they cannot find your I-94, you may be eligible for a waiver of inadmissibility but you may also have to adjust outside of the U.S., and will then face a bar since you overstayed your visa. I would suggest that you consult with an experienced immigration attorney. Please feel free to call me (646) 430 9384 x101 for a free 30 minute consultation.
