Admission as a nonimmigrant is evidenced in most cases by a Form I-94 Arrival/Departure Record that contains an I-94 number, and reflects the date and class of admission, and the expiration date of the period of authorized stay. Air, land, and sea ports of entry have transitioned to an electronic Form I-94 record that is created during the inspection process at the time of admission or parole.

A traveler admitted at a port of entry where the electronic Form I-94 has been implemented will be given instructions on accessing her/his electronic record on the CBP electronic I-94 website. There, the traveler can obtain, retrieve and print out a copy of her/his most recent I-94 record.

The CBP inspector may also stamp the individual's passport with an admission stamp containing place, class, date of entry, and an "admit until" date.

Nonimmigrants will also be able to see a five-year "Travel History" of their arrivals and departures contained in the Non-Immigrant Information System (NIIS) relating to their passport number, but will only be able to print out the I-94 record associated with their most recent entry to the United States.
