And do you have any idea what these consequences can be? One-time
denial of entry would be bad but an acceptable risk (much more so for
my boss). Imprisonment or being put on a black-list and being denied
entry in the future would be totally unacceptable.

Im curious how exactly you forgot to hand the card back as they dont
usually let you board the plane untill the airline people have removed the
green slip from your passport!

i wouldnt worry about it, its not like you havent sent back the I94 or dont
have it, they have it in their possesion as youve sent it through, youve
done nothing wrong, dony worry about it

That was pretty easy, actually. I went to the BA check-in counter in
SFO, handed them my airline tickets, received my boarding pass, went
through security, to the gate, and boarded the plane. Back in 1999
there weren't ID checks everywhere. AFAIR nobody even asked for my
passport. It was the first time I travelled to the US so I didn't know
that I have to return the form. I'm more than happy I learned about it
by chance before I boarded the plane to EWR.
