Abstract:
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.
Emergency Justfication:
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.
