POE question's

[missingmyguy 4]

Im confused now....I was under the impression that all we needed was passport and envelope from immigration. So now im reading we bring a 1-94 print out with us? I thought a customs officer does this form when we arrive during our visa entry. I hope someone can clarify.

That is what it says so I don't know how to print something when I haven't gone to the US yet on the visa but the I'm seeing a lot of POE reviews saying they had to stamp the I-94 but how can I when I can't get the paper to begin with 0-0

you don't need the i-94 for POE, it's something that is created when you cross the border. All you need is your passport with your visa in it and you sealed packet from the embassy. From what I understand (someone correct me if i'm wrong!) pretty much you show them the visa, then the visa loses its validity right there on the spot, and the date stamped on your passport is your i-94 that is then electronically inputed into their systems a week or two later, where it should then be available to print.

i-94 ( https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/880/~/definition-of-an-i-94 ) - is a little piece of paper that proves you entered or departed USA.

Previously, it was put into your passport when you crossed POE. Now, once you are in USA, you have to go online and print one yourself.

Thank you all for clarification. Easier to worry about it after POE.

I had my things shipped from Germany two weeks before I left (they took two months to arrive). The company wanted a copy of my visa for customs, but never an I-94 or any proof that I actually was in the country.
