What is the electronic I-94?

The electronic I-94 is the digital record used by United States immigration officers to document the entry and stay of non-immigrant visitors, replacing the old paper form.

Upon arrival, the officer records the date of entry, visa category, and authorization for stay, serving as legal proof of entry. This document can be accessed online to verify the terms of admission and monitor the legal period of stay in the country.

It is recommended to keep the documentation updated and seek information only from official sources or specialists to ensure compliance with current immigration laws and avoid future complications regarding immigration status.
