Hi, someone please help me.

My wife came to USA with F-2 visa and then switched to F-1 about 3 years ago by
submitting change of status form to INS within USA. She got her new I-20 form
stamped with F-1 status from INS.She then worked on campus for the past 3 years
without any problem. Now she transfer to another univ. and the advisor in
internaional student office told her she can't work on campus because she did not
get her I94 card changed to F-1.

But she didnot remember receiving her new I94 card when the INS approved her change
of status. Does she really need a new I94 to work or the F-1 stamp on her I-20 form
is enough???? How should we get her new I 94 card?? Your help is very much
appreciated.

When she was approved the I-94 was at the bottom of the Form I-797 (Notice of
Action).

If you can't find the Form I-797, you can file a Form I-102 at the Service Center
having jurisdiction over where you live. The only problem with submitting the I-102
is that it could take sometimes up to one year to adjudicate.

I hope you have the approval notice (I-797).
