What is Form I-94?
The I-94 is the card given at the port of the United States, reflecting the status of the individual entering and the length of stay permitted. It is a petite-sized white card approved by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The I-94 and I-94W forms don't need to be completed by either air or sea travelers even though CBP automated this process for each and every traveler seeking for admission at U.S. entry ports.
How does Form I-94 Work?
In place of the manual I-94 card, electronic authorization and the issuing of admission number are carried out by the U.S. CBP. Upon approval by this body, the Admission Number can then be retrieved. Before the appointment of a treaty benefit, as stated by the B visitors checklist and the J visitors checklist, a copy has to be tendered at the Accounting Office.
