Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano announced in late May that the paper arrival/departure form (Form I-94W) for authorized travelers from nations participating in the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) would be eliminated. By doing so, DHS hopes to streamline secure travel for millions of visitors travelling to the U.S. annually. The new process will consolidate the collection of traveler information and enhance security by automatically providing DHS with important passenger information prior to the visitor’s departure.
