Read a random definition: Trademark Manual of Examining Procedure

A quick definition of I-94 Card:

The I-94 Card is a document that non-immigrant visitors need to fill out when they enter the United States with a visa. It shows when they arrived in the U.S., when they need to leave, and what type of visa they have. The form is usually given to visitors when they arrive at the airport or port of entry. It has two parts, one for when they arrive and one for when they leave. Visitors need to keep the departure part until they leave the U.S. U.S. citizens, resident aliens, and some Canadian citizens do not need to fill out this form.

A more thorough explanation:

The I-94 Card is a document that non-immigrant visitors need to fill out when they enter the United States with a visa. It's also called the Arrival-Departure Record or CBP Form I-94. The Department of Homeland Security issues this form to all aliens who are admitted to the U.S. or extending their stay within the U.S.

The I-94 Card shows important information like the date of arrival in the United States, the date when the authorized period of stay expires, and the class of admission. All non-immigrants need an I-94 Form, except for U.S. citizens, resident aliens, aliens with immigrant status, and most Canadian citizens.

I-94s are usually issued at the admission step at the port of entry, by air or sea. The form is attached to the non-immigrant visitor's passport by a Customs and Border Protection officer. Since April of 2013, I-94 Forms have been created electronically upon arrival.

The Form I-94 has two specific perforated sections. The top section is the arrival record and is retained by the Customs and Border Patrol officer at the port of entry. The bottom section of Form I-94 is the departure record and must be retained by the non-immigrant until the time of departure from the United States.

When Maria arrived in the United States from Mexico, she had to fill out an I-94 Card. The Customs and Border Protection officer attached the form to her passport. Maria made sure to keep the bottom section of the form, which is the departure record, until she left the United States.

Another example is when John, a student from China, entered the United States with a student visa. He was required to fill out an I-94 Card, which showed the date of his arrival and the date when his authorized period of stay expires. John kept the top section of the form, which is the arrival record, and gave the bottom section to the Customs and Border Patrol officer.

These examples illustrate how non-immigrant visitors need to fill out an I-94 Card when entering the United States with a visa. The form shows important information about their stay in the country and must be retained until the time of departure.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
