The official website says you have to proove you have left the country - the joke is they take our cc info as well so they should be able to see for themselves .... If you start spending money (Grocery, gas station etc) in Europe again on a regular basis there is hardly a chance you are still in the US :rolleyes:
It does make you wonder exactly WHAT they do with all the manditory info they want before you even arrive. |

Actually, I would phrase it differently ... they are contractors paid to stand by the machine, and not to do anything else ... so there they stand.
Cheers, GenevaFlyer To think they could be better employed, collecting the piece of paper at Customs Exits...You know the one that says "You have nothing to declare": Just how many overpaid US HomeLand Security Personel are involved in this pointless task...Have they not heard of Red and Green Channels? |

US-VISIT exit procedures are making a comeback....
Fact Sheet: Improving Border Security and Immigration Within Existing Law Release Date: August 10, 2007 Today, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez Announced a Series of Reforms the Administration Will Pursue to Address Border Security and Immigration Challenges. The following reforms represent steps the Administration can take within the boundaries of existing law to secure our borders more effectively, improve interior and worksite enforcement, streamline existing guest worker programs, improve the current immigration system, and help new immigrants assimilate into American culture. (snip) 4. The Administration Will Expand Exit Requirements So Persons Who Overstay Limited-Duration Visits To The United States Can Be Identified. * By The End Of 2008, The US-VISIT Exit Requirement Will Be Underway At All U.S. Airports And Seaports. The Department of Homeland Security will continue to explore effective and cost-efficient means of establishing biometric exit requirements at land border crossings. |
4. The Administration Will Expand Exit Requirements So Persons Who Overstay Limited-Duration Visits To The United States Can Be Identified. By The End Of 2008, The US-VISIT Exit Requirement Will Be Underway At All U.S. Airports And Seaports. The Department of Homeland Security will continue to explore effective and cost-efficient means of establishing biometric exit requirements at land border crossings. The Administration Will Establish A New Land-Border Exit System For Guest Workers, Starting On A Pilot Basis. This will help ensure that temporary workers in the country now follow the mandate to leave when their work authorization expires. If someone with an expired permit exits, intending to return, shouldn't that be picked up upon re-entry ? Like I said, maybe I'm slow... |

OK maybe I'm a bit slow, but can someone 'splain how checking on exit ensures that people are leaving when they are supposed to ? And what do you do with those found on exit to have overstayed - tell them they can't leave ?

I left SFO on Int'l concourse G for SQ1 flight from SFO to HKG on Jul 2. All of the kiosks were dismantled which I had done it regularly in the past years. When I spoke to the boarding gate agent, how come I'm not being verify for my departure & they said now they had suspend the exit departure verification process...
