First trip to the US with my I-194 waiver

This afternoon I entered the US for the first time in over a year. The border process was quite simple. The airport where I fly out of has US Customs pre-screening. I approached the Officer handed her my passport, declaration and explained that I have a waiver to travel. She reviewed the waiver and asked me to complete a another form (I-94).

Turns out that you will need to complete the I-94 every time you enter the US. It is an arrival and departure record. The Officer will give you an end date (when you need to be out of the US). When returning to Canada there is a section of the form that you will drop off with Canada Customs. You can read about it here.

After completing the form, she processed me and sent me on to my gate. Strangely, she never asked me what my intentions were to be on this visit (I was heading down to visit a friend).
