I-94 Going Paperless

On April 30^th, Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) will begin implementation of a new automated I-94 system. Over the following month, they will convert all air and sea ports. Non-immigrant students entering the U.S. by air or sea will no longer be issued a paper I-94 card, but will instead be handed a flier with information on how to access their I-94 information electronically via the web at http://www.cbp.gov/I94.

Individuals who enter through land border ports of entry will continue to receive paper I-94 cards.

For more information, please refer to the CBP website.

Travel Delays Possible for F and J Visa Holders

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has ordered U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents to verify that every international student and scholar who arrives in the U.S. has a valid F-1 or J-1 visa and a valid SEVIS record. F-1 and J-1 visa holders (and F-2 and J-2 dependents) who arrive in the U.S. in the coming weeks should be aware that they may be sent to “secondary inspection” for the purpose of verifying their documentation and status in SEVIS. This may result in travel delays of several hours.For additional information regarding travel as an international student or scholar, please visit the travel section of our website. Students on OPT should review the travel instructions in the OPT section.
