Guest Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Immigration is starting to use new Arrival and Departure cards that are scanner readable. [color:"red"] One new change is a person has to check off a box specifying a range in which their annual income falls under. [/color] Also, the address where one is going to be staying at has to also be readable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samak Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 so what are the ranges of income? doubt that they scan over 10 million cards per year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 I remember one was - no income. They have about 5 categories a person can select from. 10 million cards is not much when divided into 365 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
