Port of Entry Procedures in US

By HSB 

In-flight you will be given 2 forms. One for US Customs and one for Immigration. Immigration form will have I-94 attached to it. You will need to fill out both the forms.

You must have seen in applications that would say ‘Print Name here’. It did confuse me when I saw that first time. You can pen down your name there.

Make sure you have an address where you will stay after you enter into US. If you are not sure about an address ( some will be put at temp accommodation ), you can give your International Office address, later after finding your own apartment near the university, make sure to change the address using AR 11 form

In the Customs form you will be asked to fill out detail about what you are carrying with you and how much you are carrying.

Immigration officer will take your passport, I 20, Customs and Immigration form and ask you few questions. It shouldn’t take more than few minutes. Though, you need to stand in the queue. Then go to baggage claim area, pick up your bags and walk over to the customs officer and handover the Customs form.

Whoa! you are in USA.

    Printing in this context indicates that you should write in block letters as opposed to cursive. This is so that whatever you put down is legible.

    Let me put it in different way

    Print Name means

    If its online form : Use key board to type the name

    If its paper , write your name using pen.

    Print Name equals write your name
