Must hold a ticket, e-ticket or proof of the return portion and/or next destination

Fill out an I-94W form (also known as green I-94) to present to the agents upon arrival in U.S. territory (first point of entry). See a sample on the left.

Visa Waiver Warning

 

The Visa Waiver Program is very easy to abuse but the consequences can be very severe.

 

If you visit the US on a Visa Waiver Program and over stay the 90 day limit. On your next visit, you will be denied entry at your first point of entry. Fortunately, that's the easy part. You will then be taken in for questioning, searched, fingerprinted, and made to sign a statement without a lawyer present. After all that, then your Visa Waiver access will be terminated.

 

Then you will have a record with the US Immigration Service / Homeland Security. Trust me this is not something you want associated with your name and passport. That's too much a price to pay for a vacation to the Sin City.

 

To avoid all these problems, make sure you do not stay over 90 days and make sure to hand that little green form back, when you are leaving the US. That's your only proof that you left when you were supposed to, since your passport is not stamped at departure.
