US airports departure procedure

[intrakelly 0]

I was impressed about what one of your members said on a posting. Her I-94 was not asked for to register departure from the US at the San Francisco airport and she apparently still has it. Only index finger scans were taken and personal data to register her departure. She also received a card with a Homeland Security logo on it.

Coming to my own case, I came to the US legally on a B-1 visa thru Dallas and had several renewals taken place in the US. Due to circumstances that went beyond my control I became undocumented mid 2002. On top of that I have lost my I-94 as well. Sad story? Oh well, rather than leaving and get some kind of marginal note on my passport, so I thought, I decided to stay for whatever it would cost me. My situation hasn't changed since then. But my new passport now has an RFID chip in it and blank pages. So, if SF airport truly follows a new system of electronic data for every departing individual without requiring former paperwork, I wonder what the good chances could be of leaving the US by means of this new electronic system and then return on a waiver. It would almost sound like an undisputed amnesty. I appreciate anyone's comments.

I the airline don't ask back for the I94W you have to actually send it to London, Kentucky with evidence, that you have left the US within 90 days after entering.
