    Default How To Obtain Lost Immigration Paperwork

    Hello there. I came to the country on J1 visa on 2003, august, and after finishing school never returned to my home country, and during those five years I've lost all my forms and paperwork and the only thing I have left is my passport with I-94 form stappled to it. Now I am about to get married and we want to apply for a waiver, even though we are not sure whether this case will be in our favor or not, but to start the case itself we were told that we need to get the copies of all my paperwork. And here comes the question-How and where?
    I would appreciate your help.
    Thank you.

    You are trying to get what - a copy of your original J1 visa? Have you overstayed your visa? Are you talking about the two year foreign residence requirement?

    I have my visa on my passport. Yes, I have overstayed it. It has expired nearly 4 years ago.
    I am talking about the all paperwork-forms and applications i filed upon arrival and before. The lawyer said I will need most or all of them. I am not even sure what application forms those were or how they are called. All I was told was to find the copies of those. Now I need to figure out how to get them. Does any goverment agency, for example INS has them stored or saved a copy of them somewhere in their files or database?
    I have never commited any felonies while I was here. Never was charged with anything, including shoplifting or minor offences.
    thank you very much.
    Jamila.
