I-94 form on the plane

[dgalster 1]

I want to send my fiance a sample of how to answer the forms on the plane. Actually I believe there is an I-94 form and a customs declaration form 6059B.

What I seem to remember from flying is that there are different customs declaration forms, for US residents and visitors. Am I wrong about that, because I can only find one online?

The I-94 says that it must be filled out by "all persons except U.S. Citizens, returning resident aliens, aliens with immigrant visas,..." The K-1 is referred to in some places as a non-immigrant visa and in other places as an immigrant visa. So, does she fill the I-94 or not?

On edit....

I found something that says the I-94 is no longer being used (and there was also an I-94W).

Her passport will be scanned at the POE and she will receive an electronic I-94. After she arrives go to the CBP website for retrieving the I-94 and get a copy. You will need that for filing for AOS and they become unavailable for retrieval after they expire (or so I've heard here on VJ). She will need to complete a Customs Declaration Form to list what she is bringing into the US. Make certain she brings something to write with--i.e. pencil or pen as the flight attendants really cannot understand why someone on an international flight does not have something to compete the forms with and get very annoyed.

Good luck,

Dave

They don't give an I-94 form on the plane anymore. The only thing they give that is declaration form what kind things do you bring to the US. You can go now to the website and retrieved your I-94.

I still can retrieved my I-94 after it was expired. Probably each person had different experience though.
