Staying on top of your U.S. visa status is your responsibility as a traveler. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is enhancing traveler compliance by sending email notifications about your visa status. These proactive measures ensure you remain aware of your admission terms and avoid overstaying.

CBP Email Notifications: What to Expect

  • Reminders About Admission Time: CBP may send emails if you have 10 days or less remaining on your permitted stay.
  • Potential Overstay Alerts: Notifications are sent if you may have overstayed your admission period.

These emails come from travelercompliance@cbp.dhs.gov. If you receive an email from a different sender, it might be a scam.

Check Your Admission Status Online

Use CBP’s I-94 website to monitor your compliance:

  1. Visit https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov.
  2. Click on the “View Compliance” tab to see your admission details.

The “View Compliance” tab will expand to include more travelers as the program grows.

Why Monitoring Matters

  • Overstaying your visa can lead to penalties, including restrictions on future U.S. travel.
  • Accurate record-keeping ensures compliance with U.S. immigration policies.

Traveler Compliance FAQs and Support

If you have questions, visit CBP’s FAQs or contact the Traveler Communications Center at (202) 325-8000.

Tip: Always verify your information and be cautious of phishing emails. Only trust emails from travelercompliance@cbp.dhs.gov.

By monitoring your I-94 records and responding to CBP notifications, you can stay compliant and ensure a smooth travel experience.

Conclusion

Monitoring your U.S. visa status and I-94 admission record is essential to staying compliant with immigration laws and avoiding overstay penalties. With tools like the CBP’s “View Compliance” tab and email notifications, it’s easier to track your admission status. Remember, you must stay informed and act promptly if you receive an overstay alert or other notice.
