Trips to Canada - too many to count

[Tpole 0]

Visajourney was a lifesaver back when my husband was applying for the K3, and now we're back on these boards again. The problem is part 7 that ask for dates of trips outside of the country. We live an hour and a half away from the border and travel back and forth on almost a biweekly basis. Sometimes for a few hours, sometimes overnight, every once in awhile for multiple days, a few times for a week or longer. All of the visits are related to visiting family or vacation, Over the last five years, it's probably 80 trips. What in the world does he put on that section of the form?

Thank you in advance!

I had dozens of trips to list for my K-1 application. I wrote "See attachment X" and I attached a sheet listing the trips (as best as I could figure out using the stamps in my passport). I signed and dated the attachment. It was not an issue for me.

Yep generally you put see attached and list all trips you can remember with approximate dates you can remember then put a note on there saying you have many trips from visiting family in Canada and living close to the border. Generally not an issue.

This is a problem for us also but note that it is trips over 24 hours only! Even an "overnight" trip may not be over 24 hours. We almost are never in Canada more than 24 hours, we live only a few minutes from the border and go to Montreal for the day or even just for dinner, ice skating, go to IKEA, etc. We were there today for about 6 hours. I did not mention those at all. We had one trip to Quebec City of 4 days and that is it.

Maybe that narrows it down for you?

Yep, it is trips over 24 hours only! Even if you spent 1 second in the US, it is counted as a full day spent in the US.
