ABSTRACT
In our global economy, with affordable air transportation along with convenient routes and schedules across the world, many more people are traveling internationally these days. Some people travel for pleasure or vacation while others travel solely for business reasons. According to the data posted on the Transportation Department’s Bureau of Transportation Statistics,1 there were more than 650 million domestic passengers and over 150 million international passengers fl ying in and out of U.S. airports in 2005. There are also hundreds of millions of border-crossing events between the United States and Canada2,3 and Mexico.4 Many people entering the United States are not citizens and, therefore, are required to fi le an Arrival/Departure Record (I-94 Form) to document their admission into the country, as is also required by other nations (where it is often called a Landing Card).
