Online registration good for two years coming up for visitors to the US
Currently citizens of 27 counties (mostly in western Europe plus Australia, Brunei, Japan, Singapore and New Zealand) are permitted to enter the US without visas for stays of 90 days or less but must fill out forms en route that federal agents look at on arrival. When flight attendants on a US-bound international flight ask passengers whether they are US citizens and give one Customs form to citizens and two to "aliens," that's the second form. I've never actually read one, so I don't know what information it asks.
A refinement of this process will soon require travelers to submit "biographical details" to the Department of Homeland Security online at least three days before traveling. Optional online registration for visa-waivered travelers begins in August and becomes mandatory on January 12, 2009. As it stands now, the program will require visitors to register online once every two years rather than fill out forms each time they travel.
