More details to this question:
I'm trying to adjust my status, but I lost my I-94. I was hoping getting information from the air line on which I travel to us to prove that I came here legally?

You have the burden to prove you were admitted and inspected. If you lost your I-94 you should file an I-102 to try and obtain a replacement. Also, if you entered with a passport, the CBP/INS usually also stamps your passport with your entry date and location. This can be used to show legal admission. If this does not work, they you will have to show your admission by other means, such as showing you had a visa, airline records, and affidavits of individuals who picked you up at the airport, etc.
