Form I-94 (Arrival/Departure Record)
and Form I-94W (Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver Arrival/Departure) are
used to document a traveler's admission into the United States.
These forms include date of arrival, visa classification and the
date the authorized stay expires. The forms are also used by
business employers and other organizations to confirm legal status
in the United States. The Electronic System for Travel
Authorization (ESTA) applies to aliens traveling to the United
States under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) and requires that VWP
travelers provide information electronically to CBP before
embarking on travel to the United States.
To meet the requirements
and intent of the law, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is
strengthening the security of the United States through
enhancements to the ESTA application, and the Form I-94W. Because
the INA, as amended by the VWP Improvement Act, renders ineligible
for VWP travel (with some exceptions) any applicant who is a dual
national of, or has at any time on or after March 1, 2011 been
present in a country that is designated a SST, prompt action to
implement the bar is required.
