Requirement to Carry Documentation of Status
Under U.S. immigration law, you must carry proof of your immigration registration at all times while in the U.S. (https://www.uscis.gov/alienregistration). For most international students, this requirement is already satisfied through the issuance of an Form I-94 when admitted.
The law is not clear whether you should carry original documents or copies of those original documents. However, it is generally advisable to carry, at a minimum, copies of the following key lawful status documents including paper or electronic versions on phones or tablets. If you choose to carry your original documents, we strongly recommend that you take necessary precautions to keep those original documents secure.
