What is an INS Form I-94 “Arrival-Departure Record”?
A Form I-94 “Arrival-Departure Record” is created by the USCIS when the traveler is inspected upon arrival in the United States. The inspector endorses the USCIS Form I-94 with the date, place of arrival, the “class of admission” (which corresponds to the visa class), the length of time the traveler may remain in the United States, and any special conditions which may apply to the visit. A validated Form I-94 must be presented with any Direct Payment voucher to document the NRA visa status, date of entry and authorized length of stay. A visitor from Canada who was not issued a Form I-94 upon inspection at the border can complete a “Substitute Form I-94 For Use By Certain B1 Or B2 Visitors From Canada”. See Manual of Business Procedures Section 77.
