Automation of theI-94 Card: New Documentation for the I-9 Bechtel International Center Spring Quarter, 2013 International Scholar Advising Team
I-94 Card Proof of entering the US in a particular visa status. It is used for the purpose of the I-9, and in immigration for adjusting status in the U.S. or extending stay. Also required in applications for the SSN and Driver’s License.
Will the paper I-94 cards still be issued? No: Beginning April 30ththrough end of May, US Customs and Border Control (CPB) will cease issuing the paper cards and automate each visitors port-of-entry record based on their electronic travel records for those entering my sea and air. Yes: BUT at land border ports-of-entry, the old paper I-94 card will still be issued
How do visitors get access to the automated record of arrival? This proof of entry will continue to be created, but online at www.cpb.gov/I94 The traveler may print a paper version of the I-94 by logging into this website with information specific to him/her. Using the stamp in the passport showing date of admission, the class of admission and the date the traveler is admitted until (most of Stanford visitors will show “D/S”), the traveler will be able to find their personal admission record and print it out for the purposes of I-9 and any other immigration application.
I-Center advice to Stanford international communityhttp://icenter.stanford.edu/ Stanford international students and scholars should, soon after arrival, print out the I-94 information and keep this documentation for their records. Direct these students and scholars to the I-Center website for guidance. In addition to needing this for I-9 purposes, the I-94 documentation is necessary for DMV and SSA applications.
