实在无聊诈个尸

其实I-94纸质表格在2013年4月30号已经被美国海关边防逐步取消，改成电子的，为什么说逐步呢？ 因为一开始是挑了几个机场实施， 然后于5月21号全美支持国际航班的机场实行。

个人觉得取消后大大的方便了各种入境的美国的非移民呢（非美籍的难民等除外），少填张表少一点麻烦不是！ 还不用担心I-94表的遗失。然后入境美国前在飞机上只需要填写份简单的海关申报表即可。

到底I-94是什么呢？看下面


Introduction

For decades, U.S. immigration officers issued a Form I-94 Arrival/Departure Record to almost all foreign nationals who lawfully entered the United States as nonimmigrants.The I-94 is a paper form that a nonimmigrant receives at the time of entry into the U.S. Its purpose is to record the nonimmigrant’s lawful admission to the U.S., including the date and place of entry, the visa class or status in which the person is admitted, and the length of time that the nonimmigrant is permitted to remain in the U.S.

What Is Changing?

Effective April 30, 2013, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) started to phase out the paper version of the I-94 form. CBP refers to the phasing out of the paper I-94 as I-94 Automation.

Why Is CBP Eliminating the Paper I-94?

CBP has said that it is eliminating the paper I-94 to increase efficiency, reduce operating costs, and streamline the admission process.

Does I-94 Automation Apply to All Entrants to the U.S.?

No. First, I-94 Automation applies only to nonimmigrants. U.S. permanent residents (green card holders) are not issued I-94s of any kind. Second, for now, the I-94 Automation program applies to entrants only at U.S. airports (including U.S. immigration preclearance facilities located outside the U.S.) and at U.S. seaports. I-94 Automation will not apply to nonimmigrants entering the U.S. at a land border port of entry. Third, certain classes of foreign nationals, such as refugees, asylum applicants, and parolees (persons “paroled” into the United States, including persons presenting Advance Parole travel authorization), will continue to receive a paper Form I-94.
