How long does it take for an I94 to be issued? My friend entered the US in February, and then entered the US again a week ago. We logged into the online I94 system. Her most recent entry isn't listed on the I94 site. Instead, her previous entry from February is listed with an expiration of 8/18/2017 (six months from February) and it shows her leaving in March. Does ICE generally reuse the previous I94 or is this an error?

My father-in-law arrived yesterday from China for a three month stay. He speaks no English so it appears his discussion with the Border Officer was limited. This is his third visit and second visit on his present 10 year visa. He had a copy of his itinerary so I would guess the Officer looked at it to see his return flight. (late June) Here is my question while they stamped his passport the officer did not write down how long he was admitted for, he just initialed it. So the question is how long is my father-in-law admitted for? If no date does it mean six months? Is there a way to look it up online? Or some other way? Or am I safe to assume it is six months? Unless something unforeseen happens, he will be leaving in three months but I just want to make sure he does not overstay. Any advice? -
So as I mentioned, my father-in-law successfully was granted a visa. My wife's cousin who we were going to have travel with him was not (Late 30's, divorced, no kids=denial). Couple questions about arranging Baba's travel. Our intention is to buy him a round trip airline ticket for a five month stay. I recognize that the Officer at the border has the final stay but if he can show the 5 month itinerary, is it reasonable to expect he will get a 5-6 month stay? He speaks no English, we will have to drive to LAX to pick him up. My intent would be to have a instruction letter in English/Chinese with our address/phone numbers. I may even try to fill out an example customs form for him. My understanding is the I-94 is now electronic and automatically generated. He will be on a Chinese airline direct from Beijing so he should be able to get help from the crew/fellow passengers. Do you think there will be any issues getting through immigration/customs? I will also be buying a 5 month medical policy for him. Any other advice/lessons learned?

Since this change is took place only last month, I will post it for anyone else who has been under the same rock as I have. "Effective April 26, 2013, DHS began automating the admission process. An alien lawfully admitted or paroled into the U.S. is no longer required to be in possession of a preprinted Form I-94. A record of admission printed from the CBP website constitutes a lawful record of admission. See 8 CFR § 1.4(d)." From the US Customs and Border Protection website.
