DS-160 Travel History (K-1)

[gob332 420]

Hello all,

 

We are preparing to have my fiance take the next steps after our anticipated arrival of NOA2. Looking at DS-160, it asks for us to list her last 5 trips to the US with the caveat that we may be asked for international travel history from the last 5 years. Given Canada's proximity to the US, there is no way she remembers the exact dates of each trip. Additionally her passport was not scanned on each visit.

 

Thoughts on how we should proceed with this?

 

I have tried a search and did not see a lot of info.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated!

When we applied for my IR-1, our lawyer just put on there that we traveled across the border multiple times a year.  I was crossing weekly for my job.  I believe they accept when Canadians state that they cross often and can't remember each crossing.  It's a good idea to keep a travel journal for the future though.  Then you know every time you cross.  My wife started doing that after immigrating to Canada and it has been handy.

I never delete emails.. And had all my flight bookings in my email.  It was a pain in the butt, but what can you do.

 

Look back through financial records?

 

If you can't get exact dates... I would hope she can at least come up with what month she visited.

 

Surely there are some sort of records.

Does the passport have any stamps? Can you find any itineraries in the e-mail history or anything? Maybe have her look up her previous I-94s here: https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/#/home

Thank you for your suggestions everyone. We do have a complete record of her crossing into the US for visits to me, but given her hometown is not very far off from the US border, we do not have a complete history of her visiting the US with her family prior to meeting me. I have checked out the above website, bug it does not have history for when she was younger. Maybe it's overkill, but we are trying to be complete as possible.

I just wrote that I crossed for many trips over the course of my life as we lived at a border town. Then detailed the longer trips that I recently took to friends and then fiance at the time.

Thank you! This does seem to be standard and we will do the same.

Ah that's a great idea. I was also wondering about this since the border is 5 mins from where I live and we crossed all the time for years. In fact Mum and I were just talking about heading across the line for pizza. There is this great place about 30 minutes from us that has yummo pizza. lol
