Travel history to the US

[R&OC 371]

I am relatively new to the visa process but I am trying to get my head around everything. We are planning to file for an I-130 sometimes this summer.

 

Now my question - I used to be an Au-Pair in the US and later did my Master degree plus extensive business travel. I do not have all my old passports and I can't find my student visa from back in the days nor the passport in which it should be.

 

The last 5 years are no problem whatsoever but what am I going to do about the other 15 years? How specific and correct am I supposed to be? And at which point in the application process am I supposed to provide that information. Initial filing or later on? And if I need to be specific, where would I get that information?

 

Thank you so much for your help!

Give as much info as possible with estimates if you do not have correct dates.  They'll know you were here.  If dates are off or one or two trips missed you'll be fine

I would say google I-94 travel history at the Department of Homeland Security website (if you know the passport number) but I am not sure how far back you can go...

The point at which they ask you to list your travel history in full is the DS-260, one of the forms you fill in at the NVC step (so about 6 months after you file your i-130), so you have plenty of time to find the info.  Do you still have your email address from back then?  I had to go back through my email and search "itinerary" for my flight details.  I filled a lot of gaps that way as i had a missing old passport too.
