New alien registration requirement
Posted date : May 21, 2025.
We just read that the U.S. has started (or reinvigorated) a requirement effective February 25, 2025 for aliens to register if they are currently in the U.S. or intending to enter the U.S. for more than 30 days. They state that an online account should be created so that when the registration form/process is implemented, it will be easier to meet the new/renewed law. What does the CSA know about this?

Ed.: Canadian snowbirds spending 30 days or longer in the United States should visit i94.cbp.dhs.gov to see if they have been issued an electronic Form I-94 (an arrival/departure admission record) for their latest entry. If an I-94 was issued for your latest trip, you are not required to register with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). If an I-94 was not issued for your latest trip, you will need to file Form G-325R with USCIS. Instructions and further information can be found under the Snowbird Alert on page 7.
