i94 when I have never been to the US
3 weeks ago my family was at the US Embassy for an interview in Tbilisi, republic of Georgia (not state in the USA). The interviewer left our papers and pulled out a sheet of paper stating that we would receive an email in the mail asking us to receive the i94 forms. After entering information on the i94 site (name, surname, passport number), the site displays: record not found for traveler.
I then wrote a letter to the U.S. Border Department on this site: https://help.cbp.gov and they wrote me that the i94 could not accept a person who had never been to the US (we have never been, my father has lived there for years).
I wonder why the interviewer asked for this form and what to do in this case?
I also sent this question to the embassy but due to many received letters they have not been able to answer me for 1 week already
