How Can I Enter The Us?

You can enter the US through over 300 Ports­of­Entry (POE). A POE is any station: land, air or water, through which a person can enter the US. Immigration officials inspect all persons entering the US at a port­of­entry.

At the port of entry, an official must authorize the visitor's admission to the U.S.  At that time Form I­94, Record of Arrival­Departure, which notes the length of stay permitted, is stamped. Those visitors who wish to stay beyond the time indicated on Form I­94 must contact the USCIS to request Form I­539, Application to Extend Status. The decision to grant or deny a request for extension of stay is made solely by the USCIS.
