When a refugee or asylee does not have a foreign passport Customs and Border Protection (CBP) provides the individual a paper Form I-94. The pre-printed Form I-94 number will be crossed out and the actual electronic Form I-94 number will be handwritten on the document.
A Form I-94 with an unexpired refugee admission stamp and a handwritten number on it is acceptable as a receipt for a List A document for a refugee. At the end of the 90-day receipt period, the employee must present either an unexpired Employment Authorization Document (Form I-766); or a valid document from List B and an unrestricted Social Security card.
A Form I-94 with a stamp or notation indicating asylee status and a handwritten number on it is acceptable as a List C document for an asylee. If the asylee chooses to present this document, he or she also will need to present a List B document.
Additional information on the Form I-94 is available at www.CBP.gov.
