| Oct 23, 2017 at 16:04 | comment | added | Michael Seifert | The CBP has now corrected the confusing language at your link. It now reads, "If you are arriving by land and departing by air, you should return your green I-94W to the airline representative prior to boarding your flight." | |
| Oct 23, 2017 at 15:08 | comment | added | Tom W | By first-hand experience I can tell you this answer is wrong. U.S. Customs and Border Patrol do not consider trains to be "land". I and a group of four friends were fiercely chastised by the Border Patrol agents at Vancouver Pacific Central for not having completed ESTAs. | |

| Sep 17, 2016 at 23:13 | comment | added | Martin Argerami | @AndrejaKo: the point is that you need to return your I-94W. Airlines are authorized to take them from you. The point is that when lesving you don't interact with CBP, but someone has to take your I-94W. | |
| Sep 17, 2016 at 20:49 | comment | added | Steve Jessop | @DJClayworth: An example of "if you are arriving by land and departing by land or sea" would be someone driving from Toronto to Buffalo and back. And you say everybody talks to an airline rep once during the boarding process. Pretty sure there is no airline and no boarding process involved in that drive ;-) So I don't think you're talking about the situation that sentence describes. You're probably talking about the situation it intended to describe, but somebody at the CBP website has typed the wrong thing or whatever. | |
| Sep 17, 2016 at 18:44 | comment | added | AndrejaKo | @Karlson Well, you know, I would have sort of assumed that, but you can never know! | |
| Sep 17, 2016 at 18:01 | comment | added | Karlson | @AndrejaKo Who says that people writing the CBP site can talk Inglish. | |
| Sep 17, 2016 at 16:45 | comment | added | AndrejaKo | Quite unusual! So if I come by land and am leaving by sea, I need to have contact with an airline? | |
