Form I-94

What Is An I-94 Form?

Every foreign citizen who is entering or leaving the United States should be provided with I-94 form. It is called an Arrival and Departure Record issued by the CPB officer.

The purpose of such form is to permit foreigners to enter and stay on the territory of the U.S. Since recently, most I-94 are created electronically upon foreigner`s arrival but paper forms are still in use.

This form is usually prepared by nonimmigrant travellers arriving by land. Individuals arriving from air or sea may not be asked to fill out a document.

If an individual is provided with a paper form, it will be further attached to his/her foreign passport and bear a stamp with the date of departure.

When exiting the U.S., a foreigner has to give back a form to the officer. In case of failure to return a document, a person will be considered an overstayer and may get a refusal of entry to the U.S. in the future.
