My friend saw a lawyer yesterday about US citizenship. The lawyer said that in order to verify records of her entry into the US, she will need either the I-94 from her flight, or provide the flight information that she came in on as well as the ID she used.

Now, here's the question� She came in on a Pan Am flight on April 12, 1999. The flight left Guyana and flew to Miami with a short layover in Barbados (no switching of planes). The flight left Guyana at around 6 a.m. and arrived in Miami at around noon. Is there any way to find out the flight number so that records can be retrieved? I

Do you have the right date/airline combination ? The Pan Am that did the Caribbean routes from Miami like this went out of business in 1991 and, although there were reincarnations of Pan Am afterwards, they didn't do routes of this sort.

You might mean April 1989. The "real" Pan Am ceased operations in December 1991 as WHBM says. If you do mean April 1999, your friend definitely did not fly Pan Am into the US. There's a "fake" Pan Am using the old name flying charters and limited domestic service today, but not in the Caribbean.

There are plenty of timetable and old OAG collectors who should be able to help you out. Perhaps a travel agent in your area stacks up old OAGs from years past. I have a handful of old Pan Am timetables from that era at home; I'll check tonight and see if the April 1989 schedule is among them.

Meanwhile, if you can reconfirm the date and/or airline, you might try posting your query to www.airliners.net, where a lot of timetable hounds hang out.

As I recall the "fake" Pan Am did have some Carribean routes. Even now they appear to fly to SDQ and SJU (although the latter could be called domestic) in checking on http://www.flypanam.com/ although not via Miami. But I don't know about the routes the OP mentions and can't recall this incarnation serving MIA in the past. Could also have been a charter looks like. Or it could have been the wrong date.

Pan Am II ceased operations in 1998, so it can't be the 1999 flight. Pam Am III (the current incarnation) started in 1999, but I doubt they flew to Guyana.

Obviously I don't have the particulars, and there could be a reason for this, but maybe your friend should get another lawyer. An I-94 upon entry is irrelevant to the question of citizenship. If she's becoming a US citizen, then she's already a GC holder, and the AOS to turn an I-94 arrival into a GC should have been taken care of a long time ago. Her application for AOS should have included said I-94, or at least a photocopy of it.
