The border zone in New Mexico has now been extended for Border Crossing
Card holders. These card holders can now travel up to 55 miles from the
New Mexico/Mexico border without being required to obtain a Form I-94
Arrival/Departure Record.
This change will allow BCC holders who are entering the U.S. by land to
travel to Deming and Las Cruces, New Mexico, both of which are within 55
miles of the border, and will help stimulate trade, tourism and
commerce in those areas.
Previously, BCC holders were allowed to only travel 25 miles from the
border in New Mexico. In 1999, a similar amendment allowed BCC holders
to travel up to 75 miles from the Arizona/Mexico border.
