B) Western Hemisphere Transportation Initiative
C) World Homeland Travel Initiative
D) Western Homeland Travel Initiative
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: WHTI stands for Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative. This is a U.S. law
that requires all travelers, including U.S. citizens, to present a valid passport or

Western Hemisphere. The initiative was implemented to strengthen border
security and standardize entry requirements.

D) Required of all student visa holders from any country
Correct Answer: B

U.S. Visa holders with Chinese passports (PRC). It is similar to ESTA and became
effective November 29, 2016. This system requires Chinese nationals with long-
term B1/B2 visas to periodically update their biographical and other information
to maintain their travel eligibility to the United States.

admission stamp area, with D/S
B) Issue a B-2 visa only
C) Process them as Canadian citizens
D) Deny entry without a valid U.S. visa
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Citizens of Micronesia, the Marshall Islands, and Palau (Former Pacific

Question 4

A) 6 months
B) 90 days
C) Not to exceed 1 year
D) 2 years
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: When processing B-1 and B-2 visitors, officers must determine the
length of trip not to exceed 1 year. While many B visitors receive 6 months, the
maximum allowable period is one year. Officers should verify identity, passport or
WHTI-compliant document, proper NIV, and establish the purpose of the trip.
,Question 5
Which of the following is NOT a requirement when processing E Class Visas?
A) Verify identity
B) Valid passport
C) Proper NIV
D) Waiver of rights to see a judge
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Processing E Class Visas requires verifying identity, valid passport,
proper NIV, and establishing the purpose of the trip to ensure consistency with
the visa classification. I-94 is issued for 2 years upon initial admission. Waiver of
rights to see a judge is associated with the Visa Waiver Program, not E class visas.

What is the D-1 crew-member classification?
A) Allows conditional landing for 29 days and requires departure on the same
vessel
B) Allows conditional landing for 90 days and requires departure by any means

permit, Refugee Travel Document endorsed "PR," or ADIT Stamp.
