Before entering the United States, you will receive and need to
complete an I-94 (which includes three sections: the instructions,
the arrival record card, and the departure record card). This document
is given to you by your airline company or carrier.
At the port of entry, you will present the following to the immigration
officer:
- Valid passport with valid visa
- Envelope containing I-20 A & B, financial statement and acceptance
letter.
- Completed I-94 (all three sections).
The immigration officer will:
- Return the passport with an INS entry stamp.
- Return the departures record card (I-94) with an INS entry stamp.
- Separate the I-20 and keep one copy for their records and return
the student copy with the INS entry stamp in the upper right hand
corner.
- Return all other requested information.
