I was traveling to the US after 4 years on a Business visa with new passport and valid US visa in Old Passport. As I was checking my old passport for visa stamps at the US port of entry, I could not really find my previous stamp that was done in the US. I was kind of really worried about not able to find the Stamp that they do at the Port of entry. I could not really recall what exactly happened four years ago…
Just to be safe, I was searching online, how do I check my status and travel history…that’s when I stumbled upon the I-94 section of the CBP website, where I was able to retrieve my Travel History to the US in the last 5 years. Thankfully, I found my travel history and I printed that info, just in case, there are some issues with their system :-). If you are not sure like me, it is always a good idea to check your US travel history on the I-94 section of the website. Below is a step-by-step process.
Information Required to check US travel History Online
You will need to have the below details to check US Travel History online.
- First Name

- Date of Birth
- Country of Citizenship
- Your Passport Number
Step by Step Guide to Check US Travel History, I-94
Step 1 – Navigate to CBP I-94 Website: Go to CBP I-94 Section of Website on DHS.GOV (https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/#/home)
Step 2 – Select Relevant Tile : Select the option of Need a History of Arrivals and Departures. See below screenshot
Step 3 – Access Consent: You will get a Security Notification pop-up saying to consent and continue. Just click on consent and continue as below.
Step 4 – Enter Personal Info: Enter the information of the person for whom you would like to check the travel history. You need to enter your details of first name, last name, passport number, date of birth, and country of citizenship and hit next.
Step 5 – View US Travel History: If the system recognizes your details, then Your Travel History results are displayed in a Table or other formats, depending on the results. See below for both formats.

Get Details of your I-94 Online
Step 6 – Get Copy of Recent I-94 : You can also get your I-94 copy here on the same page. You need to navigate to the bottom of the page and you would see a button that says “Get this travelers most recent I-94”. If you click on that, it will fetch the I-94 as well.
What if You do not see your US Travel Details properly?
Important Caution: The info that is displayed on the I-94 website is for public consumption and not an official form of info. If something is wrong, there is nothing that you can do, no action is required. In my case itself, I see missing information about some of my arrivals and some details of the airports. But there is nothing I can do. So, take this info with a grain of salt and do not get into panic mode, if you see something is missing here.
If you are really worried, then you can email CBP with the specifics, they will be able to help you with more info. DO NOT worry.
Again, do not worry, if your Travel History does not fully reflect in the system. You will be fine. You will anyways have stamps on your passport, so nothing to worry.
How does it look for you ? Any other tips to share on this travel history?
I need to extend my I94 as per new renewal of passport. Can I do this at the nearest airport which is minneapolis airport. Please help with this information.
Mahesh,
It is very unlikely they will extend in the airport, unless it was a mistake. You can give it a try. The best option is to exit the country and re-enter. Read How to Extend I-94 within USA? Various Options
I am able to retrieve my i94 record but not my travel history. Anyone in the same situation?
What did you do to get your travel history?
i am in the same boat. what did you do to retrieve your travel history?
pikachu123,
Are you getting any error ? What does it show?
I am also facing the same issue.
Can I block this information so that nobody else can view it? Imagining a case where somebody is aware of my passport number and DoB.
Manoj,
You cannot block it. It is US Govt Website. That’s why you need to be very careful with those documents.
Is it safe to enter personal information here in the form because in the privacy notice I read that whenever we click submit they collect and send information to other departments and keep them for 3 months for an audit.
I am afraid if false information is found then they will send false information.
Rahul,
No, this is only for audit sake as compliance. Think about it, what if you did a typo…
So, do not worry too much. it will be fine.
Hi
I went to the website to locate my I-94 travel information but it says traveler information not found. What does that mean? Please can someone help me I am freaking out here as I do not want any trouble with my immigration stuff.
margret,
Did you change your passport ? If so, try using the old passport. Do not worry, if you have entered US properly at Airport using visa, you will be fine. You can email CBP, if any issues.
what did you do to retrieve your travel history?
Can a passport card be used instead of the book?
What do you mean by passport card ? Not that I am aware of, it is always a book…
Hi Kumar,
I have also “unavailable” location of my departure in that form. Do you know if there is going to be a problem at the airport if the location of your previous departure says “unavailable”but the date is correct?
No, it will not have any issues, I have something like that for me as well and it was fine at the port of entry. Just carry all your passports.
My Visa will be expiring on 29th September 2017 [Currently in India] and I’m not sure whether I will be able to apply for extension before 29th Sept 2017.
1. Will I can apply for extension after 29th sept 2017
2. Is extension and Renewal process are same?
3. Is extension/renewal in can be done from India
Srikanth,
I am assuming you are talking about visa stamping in Passport…If so, yes, you can apply for renewal/ extension with relevant documents. You may be eligible for dropbox. Check the requirements on USTravelDocs website . Yes, you can do it in India with relevant documents from your employer.
