"CBP Link has completely changed my weekly commute between San Diego and Tijuana. Being able to check live wait times before I even leave the house saves me hours every month, and applying for my I-94 ahead of time makes the actual crossing so much smoother. It’s a must-have for anyone who crosses the land border frequently."

"I used the app to declare my service animal and some food items during my last flight back to the US. The guided questions made the process so simple and stress-free. It’s great to have an official tool that ensures I’m in full compliance without the usual paperwork headache at the airport."
