Is the I-94 the "are you a terrorist? yes/no" card?

I've only been to the US a couple time but when I entered the US they ripped out the card that they didn't rip the last time I left.

Just checked wikipedia ... "When departing the United States for Canada or Mexico (only), for a trip of less than 30 days, it is not required to surrender the I-94 ".

Do you feel lucky? Its the US, so I guess not.

First bit of good news here, the government have cashed my check. So they have at least received the form and opened it.

Status update luyer June 16 2009, 17:12:49 UTC

I received an I-797C today, which was basically a notice that they had received my form and payment, and providing me a receipt number which I can look up online.

Officially, my form was received by the service center on June 8th, and the current processing time for an I-102 at that processing center is 2.5 months, which has me receiving my I-94 around August 23rd. We get married on August 22nd. So depending on the I-94 being in my hands before our honeymoon seems rather unwise.

I'll post this separately, also, but... success!

Received today (no doubt delayed in the mail due to the Independence Day long weekend), dated June 29, my replacement I-94 (on a form I-797A).

21 days to process a form, which has a stated processing time of 2.5 months. Yay!
