When You Enter the U.S.
The US-VISIT program is now in effect. Almost all international visitors to the U.S. will now have their two index fingers scanned and a digital photograph will be taken. This will apply even to visitors who are not required to have a visa. Please understand that this process will require extra time for processing as you enter the U.S. in Honolulu.
