Several mentees cleared JFK Terminal 4 on Tuesday using sponsor-emailed DS-2019 PDFs printed at home, with no hiccups at airline check-in or CBP. Sharing this to ease travel nerves — if you’ve entered recently with a printed e-DS-2019, can you drop your airport and date so we can see where this is working smoothly?
Not JFK T4, but I cleared IAD on Jan 30 with a black-and-white ‘printed at home’ e‑DS‑2019; United check‑in and CBP were smooth. Small caveat: , the officer asked for my SEVIS fee receipt and the sponsor email, so keep both saved offline — anyone seen issues at preclearance (DUB/YYZ)?
Glad to hear e-DS-2019s are working well! I flew out of LAX recently with the same setup, and it went smoothly too… Anyone else have experiences from other airports?
I cleared through SFO with my e-DS-2019 printed at home just last week, and it was totally seamless! It’s such a relief to see the system working, but I did get a few puzzled looks from the airline staff when they saw my black-and-white printout. Anyone else notice if color copies are preferred lately?
