Can You Remember the Dates of Your Previous Trips to the U.S.?

If you are a frequent traveller in and out of the U.S., you may find it difficult to remember the exact dates of your recent arrivals and departures. 

It’s not easy to remember all of these dates, and when you asked to list these dates on a visa application and your mind goes blank. 

Your temporary brain freeze is not a problem anymore and can be resolved in a few minutes.   

Under the new system, every time you enter the U.S. by air or sea your admission is now recorded electronically with Form I-94 by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) at your port of entry.  When you arrive, you are issued an I-94 number and you are given a paper with instructions on how to access the CBP website where you can retrieve an electronic copy of your I-94.  CBP maintains the arrival records in the Nonimmigrant Information System (NIIS).

Furthermore, there is a very handy tool on the website at the login page. 

There are two options:  “Get Most Recent I-94” or “Get Travel History”.  The travel history will reflect all of your arrival and departure dates for the last 5 years.

If you travelled on an older or now expired passport, you can enter those details to obtain their corresponding travel records .
