Keep Paper Copies of Your Immigration Documents in Your Backpack, Handbag or in Your CarKeep a paper copy of your immigration documents in the event your original documents are ever lost or stolen. Keeping a secure, paper copy of your immigration documents (especially your I-94 Arrival/Departure record) in your backpack or handbag that you use daily, or in the glove box of your car is a good idea in the event you are ever stopped and asked to confirm your immigration status.

   Keep Electronic Copies of Your Immigration Documents on Your Phone

   Option 1 – Keep an album in the photo gallery on your phone or tablet with copies of your immigration documents.

   Option 2 – Log in to the ISSS Portal to retrieve your documents.
