Part of the naturalization form is filling out all the times you've left and come back to the US and I have family in canada that I have visited often and I have driven and sometimes flown and I cannot possibly keep track of it all. I would be afraid of forgetting a date. Is there a website where this information is recorded?

Sure, you could have logged every trip.   Just give the info you know.

That's not very helpful. When I first started this process I had no idea I would be applying for citizenship someday so I was not actively keeping a log of all my trips. I would have done that if I had known. I am afraid if I forget a date that they will deny my naturalization process.

You can only provide what you can remember.....good luck.   They won't.

Go to I-94 travel records, scroll down to where it says “get travel records”. At least mine goes back until 2015.

Thats a starter. I am not sure if your i-94 is updated anytime you cross a land border (I haven’t done it), but at least you get the records if you flew.

Most of us don't have an i-94 record after we became greencard holders, so that's not a guarantee. The i-94 is generally to keep track of temporary visitors (potential overstays etc), not for greencard holders. 

 

I haven't had an i-94 record since 2016, none of the trips after that showed up.

Here is a link to CBP on obtaining your travel history for the last 5 years.  I -94 are issued to non-immigrant visitors and not relevant to your question.

 

It has never been a problem for those who cross either Mexico or Canada by car , for example ,  every weekend to state the travel as “ weekend visits lasting  approx 2 days each “ , approximate 52 weeks x2  ( or less) , and they were not required to provide exact travel dates.

I think your sentiment is shared by most people.  I had no idea when I started my immigration journey that I'd need to list all the places I'd lived from the time I was 16, either.  Travel - same thing but we tend to have record by means of airline log ins or car rentals.  My current saving grace is no international travel since April 2020 thanks to covid, which is unusual for me, but a block of time that's easy to track. 

 

Do the best you can.  A quick scroll through the phone to see dates on photos will probably help and credit card statements are typically quite useful too - you can see when/where you purchased fuel. The attempt at being honest and encompassing as much information as possible is of more of a value indicator in the type of person you are than 100% accuracy.

Believe it or not, (attached is the evidence) I was able to pull my travel details from the I-94 website up until March of 2020 - the month in which I applied for citizenship. I tried again recently using my UK passport and was unable to replicate this.image.png.6ed330bb22eadff057241624d9731285.png
