Default I-94

How does the embassy overseas keep track of I-94 (Departure Record)?

Case:
A visitor came to USA in 1997, overstayed until 1999 and went back to
his home country.
When he applies for a tourist visa in his country, how would the
consulate find out of his overstay? Thnks.

The applicant is asked about past visa and immigration violations on the visa application. Lying on the application could earn the person a lifetime ban from coming to the US due to fraud. It's up to the alien to prove that they are admissible and didn't violate a past visa or immigration law.

The person you describe currently has a 10 year ban from coming to the United States, so lying on the application is very serious because it is willful misrepresentation of a material fact.

Even if they successfully get a new visa, the officer at the border could revoke the visa, arrest, detain, and order then removed when they seek admission with their fraudulently obtained visa.

They have access to the database where this data is stored.

I am trying to get a dealer job at the casino. It's a licensed
position. To get a license you have to pass background check. One of
the question on application is: "If you are not a citizen of the US,
provide the following: Addmission/arrival number AND Alien "A"
number". I have a Green Card now and have no idea what was my
addmission number. Any ideas how to find it? Thank you.

I doubt they need it, or could do much with it if they had it.

Do you have any old I-797's lying around with I-94s hooked to the botton? That would have your admission number.

I'd ask them if it's really needed. I can see why an H1B or similar would need it, but not an LPR.
