I94 is an entry clearance card issued by the US customs to aliens (non-immigrants) entering the USA. For visa-waiver nationals, it's green, for visa nationals, it's white. It has absolutely nothing to do with permanent residency! If you go to the USA as a visitor, they WILL give you one of those on the border/passport check as long as you are allowed into the country.

Non-visa nationals will also get a white card if travelling with a US visa. And Canadians and Bermudians may not get any kind of I94 if admitted for 6 months or less.

Hi!! thanks for the reply so it means I'm allowed to go to the state to visit my husband then?what should I tell to the border if they ask me who Im visiting too should I tell them the truth that Im going to visit my husband or that will give me a red flag?? If I visit him and stay with him can he change my status or I need to go back in canada then apply for I 130 and do the process that way? thanks I really appreciated .
