U.S. Travel History available online for past five years

Aug 14, 2016 News

By Attorney Gail Seeram

If you are a non-immigrant U.S. visitor seeking access to your I-94 arrival/departure record for any point within the past five years, on May 1, 2014, Custom & Border Protection (CBP) launched a new webpage that will allow you to retrieve this information. The portal will provide you access to the date and port of entry of your arrivals and departures from the United States for the past five years.
When you visit https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/consent.html, agree to the terms of using the website, on the next screen, enter your name and passport information. On the next screen, you can then retrieve your recent I-94 arrival/departure record number or five-year travel history.
Clicking on “Get Travel History” will return a five-year travel history based on the I-94 records, which you also can print.
Clicking on “Get Most Recent I-94” will return the I-94 number, most recent date of entry, class of admission and admit-until date. Please note that the system does not reflect changes of status, extension of stay or adjustments of status granted by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. You then have the option to print the record.
WHAT HAPPENS AT THE PORT OF ENTRY WHEN I ENTER THE UNITED STATES?
Upon arrival, a Custom & Border Protection (CBP) officer stamps the travel document (passport) of each arriving non-immigrant traveler with the admission date, the class of admission, and the date that the traveler is admitted until.
WHAT HAPPENS AT THE PORT OF ENTRY WHEN I DEPART THE UNITED STATES?
CBP will record the departure electronically via manifest information provided by the carrier or by CBP. So, non-immigrant travelers are no longer required to surrender the previously issued paper Form I-94.
The current processing time for entering foreign visitors’ travel information into the I-94 database is 30 days or more. Our office recommends all travelers to access their digital Form I-94, review and print the information for accuracy upon their arrival into the U.S.
As with any process that is electronic, there may be errors and you want to ensure that your arrival and departure records are correct so you have no problems or issues with your next entry into the U.S. and with future adjustment of status. The new automation process for Form I-94 only applies to passengers entering the U.S. with a non-immigrant visa – it does not apply to U.S. citizens or permanent residents (green card holders).
