“KNOW YOUR RIGHTS” RED CARDS

Immigrant Legal Resource Center: All people in the United States, regardless of immigration status, have certain rights and protections under the U.S. Constitution. The ILRC's red cards give examples of how people can exercise these rights. However, they do not provide individualized legal advice. Community members are encouraged to check in with a trusted legal service provider for questions about their situation.

FEDERAL RESOURCES

Need to apply for U.S. Social Security Card? Visit ssa.gov/forms/ss-5.pdf to get your forms.

Need to retrieve your I-94 online?

Special Note: In 2014, the issuance of I-94 changed from issuing a hard copy and stapling the hard copy onto a traveler’s passport to issuing it online. After 2014, travelers could access and print their I-94’s online. However, a copy is stored online for only 5 years. Thereafter, a traveler has to apply for a replacement that would cost over $400. If you are still within the 5-year limit, you can pull up a copy of your I-94 at i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/#/home

Instructions:

Click on ” Get Most Recent I-94.″
Read the consent clause, then click “consent” if you understand and agree.
Enter personal information.
Screenshot and/or Print ***Always keep a copy of your I-94 as it is a verification of your legal presence in the United States. Again, if you lose it and you exceed the 5-year limit, you will have to pay to replace it.

Residents of the Compact of Free Association (COFA) nations include people from the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), and the Republic of Palau. While the COFA agreement with the federal government allows them to live and travel in the United States, they were excluded from the COVID-19 funeral benefit offered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

The Honolulu City Council approved funding to support our neighbors from the COFA nations with a COVID-19 funeral benefit.

OER is working on the development of this program. If you would like more information, please contact shanty.asher@honolulu.gov.
