ACIN I-51-12: The Customs And Border Protection Automation Of The Arrival/Departure Record Form I-94 And The Effect On SAVE Program Requests (10/25/12)

So, this will cause problems for using the SAVE immigration status verification system for benefits.  This letter suggests how to weather the changes.  [Download]
