As a student, you should complete an Immigration Form I-94 (white), Arrival/Departure Record. Form I-94 asks for basic
identification information and the address where you will stay in the U.S.
Upon arrival, the transportation personnel will show you to the inspection area. You will queue up in an inspection line and
then speak with an Immigration Inspector.
The Immigration Inspector must determine why you are coming to the U.S., what documents you may be required to produce, if you
have those documents, and how long you will be allowed to initially stay in the U.S. These determinations usually take less
than one minute to make. If you are allowed to proceed, the Inspector will stamp your passport and issue a completed Form I-94
to you. A completed I-94 Form will show what immigration classification you were given and how long you are allowed to stay in
the U.S. You will then be permitted to proceed to Customs.
At the port-of-entry, you must present your Form I-20, passport and valid visa issued by a U.S. consular official.
