Congratulations!

My POE was Atlanta, and I arrived one month ago, so I’m giving you a few details about all the procedure there. He has to fill the I94 and the custom form, and bring the sealed brown envelope. No need for X-ray (mine was inside one of my checked luggage). Go to the visitor’s line, handle them the brown envelope and passport, answer a few questions and have his finger prints taken. Then his passport and I94 will be stamped. This procedure took about 20 minutes on the line, and 5 minutes with the officer. Then they will put the brown envelope in a green folder, and give it back to him. He has to go to the baggage claim area, pick up his luggage go through customs with the customs form and show them the brown envelope, at this point they will tell him to give the brown envelope to another officer . The officer will go through the papers, make a few questions and stamp the I94. It took me about 15 minutes.

Yup, no X Ray needed .... just tell him to make sure the POE officer puts his I-94 in his passport as he will need that for AOS and EAD. Wishing you both all the very best.

Hi Simonne,

Can you tell me what custom form you are talking about here? Is there one given out on the plane? I am trying to find out what custom form you need to fill out if you are bringing household items in suitcases as excess baggage on the plane with you. I know about the one (#3299) for unaccompanied articles but don't know if that is the one I need or not. Thanks for any help. :)
