I-94 Date Format
 

Hello
On the latest I94 I was admitted until
08/02/2017 as it says on the electronic form (it was anyway a two day in the beginning of February so no problems if the date was 8th of February)
But does that mean 08th of February or 02nd of August? CBP's website did not give any good answers on which format they use. The standard American way is that this is 02nd of August 2017, but since CBP inspects thousands of international travelleres every day they could use the format we use in nearly the rest of the world.

The validity of the I-94 form is generally for 180 days, so that would make it August 2.

CBP inspects a lot more US than international travelers, so they use the US date method.

Thanks. Was just wondering. They wrote a date on my passport stamp, but that was unreadable so the I94 record was what I had (doesn't matter now anyway since my visit was short). I was admitted after secondary inspection so they could have given me a shorter stay (even though I am Norwegian citizen, I can't use the ESTA because of a visit to Iran in 2015 so I travelled with a B1/B2 visa). And Iran was something the CBP was not happy about, I like to travel to strange places (Russian and Chinese visas also in my passport) so I can understand their concern, but they finally realized I was a genuine tourist after three rounds of interviews. However it makes me concerned to visit the US again if I need to spend three hours in secondary to get in (might have recieved a flag now). The interview at the embassy here in Oslo was also tough enough to get through, I was rejected a visa first time I applied, but at the second attempt I brought more documentation that I really lived in Norway so I was granted a visa then. Maybe that is also why I was pulled into secondary, but my visa rejection was not a topic during the second interview at the embassy nor at the port of entry (I was of course honest on the DS160 application form).
