What you call a so called arrival and departure record is what the American embassy in London and what many others call a visa .
I know damn well what I have had to do to travel to America and so does many of my friends and family.
You used to have to fill the visa form out on the plane flying over along with the customs form but since 9/11 you now have to give your name before you get on a plane and then wait for your vacation 90 day visa.
so you stick to what you think you know I;’ll stick to what I have done and what many others have done over the last 20 years..
Why don’t you just admit that you’re wrong?
The embassy didn’t have anything to do with an I-94 W. You’d only have to contact them if you were inadmissible under the VWP (business, extended stay student, immigrant, etc.)
Now we have the ESTA program, which has been around for about two years.
Now Id have to believe that everyone at the London Embassy called a document they wouldn’t have ready access to by its incorrect and counter intuitive name and repeatedly (hundreds of times???) failed to point out that the airlines provide the form along with the 6509B.
That just doesn’t seem too likely to me.
