Daly City, CA asked in Immigration Law for California

Q: Hi, My mom entered US last Sept. 2018 and realize that she did not get a stamp from an immigration officer. What to do?

She has a multi entry tourist visa from Philippines. We are planning to travel to Mexico in Feb. and was wondering if she can come back to US with us again.

A: You have two issues.

(1) You can get proof of your mother's entry, thru the CBP website. Google "I-94" and "Travel History" and "CBP" or go to https://www.cbp.gov/ and search "I-94." You will need your mother's name as it appears on the passport and the passport number.

(2) I can't say if your mother will be allowed back into the USA from a side trip to Mexico, even if returning within the 6-month period allowed under her entry in September. I would caution against it.

A: She should be able to go to the I-94 website and download a copy of her I-94, which will record all information that she needs to show a lawful entry.
