!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] ([NIIS]) is a [Government Data Store] Operated by the [United States Customs and Border Protection] and the primary source of [data] on [nonimmigrant] admissions into the [United States]. 


[{$pagename}] compiles and maintains information collected from [nonimmigrants] by [United States Department of Homeland Security] ([DHS]) Form I-94, also known as the Arrival-Departure Record, which asks for dates of arrival and departure as well as limited demographic information, such as name, [gender], nationality, and [Date Of Birth]. 

Each time a nonimmigrant enters the [United States], the arrival portion of the I-94 Form is collected and the information is entered into the data system. Conversely, each time a nonimmigrant leaves the United States, the departure portion is collected and the additional information is entered into NIIS. The arrival and departure records are then electronically matched, producing a single record that includes both the arrival and departure date.


Nonimmigrants arriving by air, land, or sea are required to complete Form I-94 with two important exceptions. Canadians who travel to the United States as tourists or on business generally do not need the I-94 Form. Also, certain Mexicans who have a nonresident alien [Border Crossing Card], commonly known as a laser visa, may not require the I-94.
