Robb, your airline does the work for US Immigration when you depart the US. You have to present your passport when you check in. Your passport number goes into the ticket record. </font>
But the question is, does this loop back to the INS computers when you come back into the country, so that they would know automatically how long you were out of the country (or the time from your last visit)? I am certain it didn't for a long time, but now with the US-VISIT and the ability of airlines to scan your passport/green card/exit document, it might? Anybody know?
