With the green I-94W's no longer in use, how does CBP know when visitors have left? Is it all going off what the airlines submit to DHS upon departure?
They didn't hand out any I-94Ws on CX830 yesterday. I had thought that the ESTA only was still being tested at LAX. There were still the green forms lying around at CBP in JFK T7, but they didn't ask why I didn't have one.
CX run a US entry/exit procedures video prior to landing. The video mentioned that you would be required to use a USVISIT exit kiosk prior to departing. I thought that those kiosks didn’t work and they pulled them all out years ago after the trial period finished.
Wow! Really? Do you think it is possible that all major international airports eventually might be reconfigured to keep international departures areas sterile, like in the EU and South America and Asia?
That would require a huge investment on the part of the government, I suspect.
Would it not also require some common sense? Which the US government is sorely lacking.
