An alien temporarily residing in the United States can use this form to request a replacement of his or her lost, stolen, mutilated arrival-departure document, or he or she may also request a new arrival-departure record, if one was not issued when he or she was last admitted as a nonimmigrant, and has not since been issued such record but is in need of one USCIS uses the information provided by the requester to verify eligibility, as well as his or her status, process the request and issue a new or replacement arrival-departure record.
There has been an increase in the estimated annual burden hours previously reported. The increase is due to the agency's newest estimate regarding the time burden associated with this collection. USCIS previously reported 2,821.31 burden hours but it is now seeking approval of 3,156.22 burden hours. USCIS has made some revisions to the form and instructions. Additional data collection fields are being incorporated into the form to enable verification of status in the United States based upon passport or travel document information captured by CBP at the port of entry, which also may be used to search TECS and ADIS. This additional information is deemed necessary to ensure timely verification in cases where the individual does not have his or her Form I-94 admission information, particularly as a result of CBP's automation of the Form I-94 process. In addition, the Applicant's and Preparer's sections have been revised, and an Interpreter's section has been added to the form and instructions. USCIS now estimates that it takes an applicant 30 minutes to prepare and submit this request using a paper form.
Finally, the ELIS Account Number data collection has been added to the form. The changes being proposed will be made to the most recent edition of the form approved by OMB, dated 2/17/13 N, which was approved by OMB upon USCIS request to approve changes to this collection based on DHS's Interim Final Rule, Definition of Form I-94 to Include Electronic Format, at 78 FR 18457, March 27, 2013. USCIS initially estimates that filing this request electronically will take 25 minutes.
