Your Loto

No.

For nonimmigrant visitors entering the United States with a visa, there is a requirement to fill a CBP Form I-94 (white form). This form has two specific perforated sections to it. The visitor or the carrier representative must complete both sections of CBP Form I-94 upon arrival in the United States. The bottom section of CBP Form I-94 is a departure record and must be returned to U.S. officials upon exiting the United States

Chintan, I-94 is to be completed by only non-immigrant visa holders. Our beneficiaries need not to fill it since they are immigrant visa holders. The correction is needed in my checklist.

loto, thanks sooo much for this.

i just got done with my interview and was thinking of the next step. this is exactly what i need!!! really appreciate this.

The part I wasnt sure before was either to go to the usc line or the visitor line. so, no i-94 then?

You welcome julietom Yes, no I-94. But make sure there is an I-95 (From Maine to Florida) waiting outside New Jersey airport

Why do you delay the POE so much after the interview ???

[rajee 1]

I think the concensus is correct - no I-94 for IV holder ... Are we sure they can go to the USC/PR line?

I guess so. But still we need I-95 to get home, Rajee
