Even though this card looks small, it is in fact a very important document. On an airplane, visitors are asked to fill out a Form I-94, Arrival/ Departure Record. At the port of entry (airport), students present this card to the immigration officer/ inspector.

If you left the United States with your Form I-94 still in your possession, your departure was not recorded properly. If you do not correct this record, or if you cannot reasonably prove that you departed in a timely way when you next apply for admission to the United States, BCIS may conclude you remained in the United States beyond your authorized stay. If this happens, you may be returned immediately to your foreign point of origin. See similar questions...

You will complete the I-94 upon your arrival in the US. An immigration officer will scan your I-20 (if you are an F-1 visa holder) and stamp your I-94.

The Form I-94 is a critical document. It shows that a nonimmigrant has been legally admitted to the United States, the class of admission, and the authorized period of stay.

This is the "Arrival/Departure Form" for international travelers. Upon arrival in the U.S., the immigration officer issues the traveler the departure portion of Form I-94 marked with date, place of entry, the alien's status (F-1 for students), a unique 11-digit admission number, and date of expiration of period of admission.

Answer: Yes you may. However, the immigration Officer may, upon your entry and inspection into the US, only issue your I-94 Admission Card for the validity of your previous Visa. That could require the premature need for an I-94 Card extension. On your next international trip, we strongly recommend you plan to get a new consular visa reflecting the change of employers. We encourage you to check with immigration counsel to obtain current information and advice before departure. See similar questions...
