The 11-digit number is your identification number with the INS. It is printed in the upper left corner of the I-94 card. If you leave the U. S., your I-94 card will be removed from your passport. Upon re-entry to the U.S., an immigration officer at the Port of Entry will give you a new card.

Immigration regulations require that your school keep a record of this number. Do not confuse your INS alien number with your Coastal student I.D. number, your Social Security number or other numbers issued to you. The alien number on your I-94 is used for immigration purposes only.
