Thanks for your response. She of course went through the passport control lol. The officer checked her form 6059B and gave it back to her. I remember there is a box to drop the form at the custom but she didn't see it and took the form with her. I don't think she used a kiosk. Hope that gives you more info. Personally I think it may not be a problem but just want to make sure.
Thanks,
Zengdi

6059B is the blue customs declaration form that itemizes what you are bringing into the country. Once you're past the exit of the customs door, the form has no relevance whether US or non-US citizen - you're "in" the country.
As a foreign passport holder, any immigration-related forms are of course very important. The 6059B CUSTOMS form is not relevant once anyone has been admitted to the US.

Forgot to fill out 6059B or kiosk
Hello,
i landed at jfk last night and didn’t get to fill out the 6095B customs form. I was expecting it to be handed in the plane which they didn’t and I wasn’t even aware that there were kiosks for it. I was hoping to pick it up while in line but ended up just having my passport checked and passing through (the officer didn’t ask for it either). So I basically only went through only passport control and left.
Am am I in trouble?
Im not a citizen and I did provide my US address at security when I boarded in Istanbul. I wasn’t carrying any food or other declarable items.

Welcome to FT,
No you are fine, some airports are now doing more of an expedited immigration/customs (something new to me as US citizen as well). If you had nothing to declare then you are fine.
