Customs
and Border Protection launched a new webpage on May 1 that offers nonimmigrant
U.S. visitors access to their I-94 arrival/departure record and their
arrival/departure history.
The new CBP webpage allows nonimmigrant travelers to access arrival/departure
records going back five years from the request date. This electronic
travel-history function means that travelers may no longer need to file Freedom
of Information Act requests to receive their arrival/departure history, greatly
speeding their process. Travelers will have electronic access to the date and
port of entry of their arrivals and departures.
When travelers visit the I-94 webpage they can retrieve their I-94
arrival/departure record number and five-year travel history by entering the
required name, date of birth, and passport information.
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. The information does not
reflect changes of status, extension of stay or adjustments of status granted by
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Travelers then have the option to
print the record.
Clicking on “Get Travel History” will return their five-year travel history
based on their I-94 records, which they also can print.
Travelers can also cancel pending Freedom of Information Act requests for travel
history information—after they have received the information from the new
website—by adding their FOIA Request Number and clicking on “Request FOIA
Cancellation” button.
CBP began the online version of Form I-94 in April 2013. The positive public
response to that streamlining prompted the agency to offer travel histories
online as well.
If a traveler has lost a paper form I-94 that was issued prior to the online
system and the record is not available online, the traveler can file a Form
I-102, Application for Replacement/Initial Non-Immigrant Arrival-Departure
Document, with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
