Get Ready- Form I-94 Goes Paperless Beginning April 30, 2013

USCBP To Phase in Automated Form I-94

On April 4, United States Customs and Border Protection (USCBP) announced its new automated I-94 entry process. By way of background, all foreign nationals admitted to the United States have historically been issued a paper Form I-94, Arrival/Departure Record, showing their admission classification, date of entry and date of expiration of their nonimmigrant temporary stay. USCBP is phasing in its automated process beginning on April 30, 2013 at five pilot ports of entry, and the implementation will continue through the week of May 21, 2013. The rollout does not cover automated I-94 implementation at land ports of entry. Foreign nationals arriving at land borders from Canada and Mexico will still receive a paper Form I-94.
