| Jul 22, 2019 at 3:18 | comment | added | phoog | I suspect that the officers were just confused because they get few people who aren't either US, Mexican, or Canadian citizens at that port of entry. | |
| Jul 22, 2019 at 3:11 | comment | added | phoog | @ZachLipton your understanding is correct. The border crossing card is only available to Mexican citizens who reside in Mexico (22 CFR 41.32(a)(1)(i)). If they're staying in the designated border zone, they're not only exempt from the I-94 but also exempt from the requirement to present a passport at the border. | |
| Jul 22, 2019 at 2:13 | comment | added | Zach Lipton | That's strange. There's a specific exemption so Mexican citizens with border crossing cards entering the US through the southern border who plan to remain in the border zone don't need to get I-94s, but my possibly incorrect understanding is that doesn't apply to third-country citizens. | |
