I-94 removed at Mumbai Airport

[neel1689]

Hi. My friend (who has a valid F-1 visa on her) recently went to Mumbai on vacation few days back. According to her, at the Mumbai airport her I-94 was removed from her passport page at immigration. Is this a matter of concern for her when she returns back? Usually, this I-94 card is removed by US immigration officers and not Indian immigration officers, correct?

Kindly let me know if this is something to be worried about.

Thanks

No Problem. US Immigration changed its law. No one need have a i94 on their passport. When he/she come back from India to us, they have it get from online.

My guess is she did not realize that her I-94 was taken at the port where she left the US. That's a standard procedure. The airlines will take your I-94 before you leave the US. A new one is issued when you return back.

I-94 is the only way they track your stay. Dont lose yours

hmm .. exits are not tracked by i94 .. that's why they want to have bio-metric entry exits system .. any loosing i94 does not cause any problem as long as you have a copy .. you can apply for new one

How do u enter back when you r just left with a copy of your I 94?

They should not be removing it but it is not a problem. Mine was taken at New Delhi airport and when I enter US I was given a new one. Usually the US immigration officers remove the old one and issue the new one to you but if it is not there they can always look online.
