Hi I was wondering whether anyone can give me any advice. I have booked to go to Florida for next year, and we have previously been there ten years ago. On the day of our departure we handed in our I-94 document and boarded the plane. When we were on the runway something was wrong with the plane and we were all told to disembark. We ended up not being able to fly home that day as the plane was broke.
The next day we were allowed to board another plan, now this is the part I am worried about. We were asked for our 1-94 document before boarding the plane home, and we did not have the document as it was not returned to us the day before when we originally handed it in.
We explained what happened yesterday that we handed the document in and then our plane was cancelled etc, and then we were allowed on the plane to go home.
Now that we are returning, this document popped into my head and I researched it and it stated that it was important to hand this document back in when leaving.
I have recently rang the US embassy to explain what happened and to see whether I should do anything and whether we might have trouble re-entering the US. She said that there should not be able problems as it was an airline error, and to just take some documents with us to prove that we were in the UK after arriving back home.
Myself and my husband have ordered copies of our bank and credit card statements from the date we returned home until a few months into the year.
My husband has also contacted the Inland Revenue and they are going to send him a copy of his earnings / tax code etc for the year we were on holiday and the following year thus showing he was working in the UK.
I am still so scared though even though she said it should not be a problem and we did originally hand in the document. Has this ever happened to anyone and was everything ok, or do you think that I should be worried?
I am so scared of arriving there and then being turned away for something that was not our fault
Sorry for the huge post
