From what I understand the I-94s are all electronic now.

I phoned up GE on their help line today and they told me L1 visa isn't compatible with GE for *UK citizens*. I find it really strange that the man who did my GE interview told me something completely different.

Is anyone else here a UK citizen on a L1 using GE? I can't believe i'm the first one to try this.

I understand it to mean that the first time that you enter the US after your GE was approved, you must complete a paper CBP Declaration and I-94. Thereafter, the GE kiosk should be able to process your entry.

Here's a link to a PDF: I-94 Arrival/Departure Record

And: I-94 Automation - how to print a copy of your I-94 form
