The point about the visa waiver is that there is no piece of paper.
However, the US, like many countries, issues a landing card to anyone who
is not a citizen or a resident. The US variety is called an I-94, and I
suspect that this is the thing you have lost, as they would staple it in
the passport. There is a form to fill in to get a substitute I-94 to
replace a lost one, so don't fret about it, just fill in the form and get a
new one. |
