When an alien applies on Form I-102 for replacement of a lost, mutilated, or destroyed Form I-94, or I-95, and the adjudicating office desires to verify the alleged arrival by obtaining a copy of the Service's control copy of the relating Form I-94 or I-95, the adjudicating office shall stamp or print its three-letter alphabetical location code and the date in the appropriate boxes on the back of the Form I-102. The Form I-102 shall then be sent to the Central Office Document Handling Unit or, if the alien
is not subject to centralized control, to the office which exercises control as specified in
OI 235
.10. The control office receiving the Form I-102 shall endorse the back of that form to indicate whether or not the claimed arrival has been verified and, if verified, shall attach a machine copy of the relating Form I-94 or I-95. The Form I-102 shall then be returned to the requesting office for adjudication.
