| Paper I-94 form being phased out |
It means that foreign visitors coming or returning to the U.S. will no longer have to complete the little white I-94 form any more upon arrival. The I-94 form has been used by the government to keep track of the arrival and departure record of foreign visitors for many years. A new automatic process is being implemented to replace the paper form. CBP will now obtain all travelers’ arrival/departure information automatically from their electronic travel records. The new system should actually be a more secure and accurate system than the paper system.
