A valid US Visa is required for all crew and family. Crew that are subjected to NSEER (National Security Entry/Exit Registration) will be fingerprinted and photographed by the INS ( Immigration and Naturalisation Services) . Once the database are recorded it will be verified for each entry to the States. The process should normally take not more that 20 mins. For first time entrance with a new visa, a form will have to be filled. An FIN (Federal Investigation Number) will then be issued if necessary.

"To facilitate prompt process of the INS on operating Flight Crew into LAX and EWR, an NSEERS questionnaire  (Q & A) form has been introduced at KUL for the convenience of Technical/Cabin Crew. The NSEERS (Q & A) forms are also available at the Immigration counter at LAX Airport. These forms that are attached to the Compliance Sheet  have been prepared for your convenience, where completion of this form in advance will reduce the waiting time during the registration. Crew are required to produce this form ONLY if they are detained for questioning by the INS authorities. You are not required to hand over this form unless required to do so by the authorities. Please retain unused forms for your future flights. "
