Questions about DS-160 Form etc.

[TYosemite 14]

Hey y'all, I have a couple questions!

 

First Question - When looking over the DS-160 form (just trying to gather what I need and get ahead for when the consulate in Montreal finally reopens), theres a section that asks for you to document all the times you have entered the United States from entry date to exit date. The problem is, I live in a border town and have done for the past almost 11 years now since. I've crossed back and forth into the United States almost every other weekend since then (from the age of 13) even for day trips to the shopping malls and grocery stores around Buffalo, NY. 

When I met my fiancé, we started taking turns going back and forth across the border to visit one another on weekends. He'd come one weekend and I'd go down to Buffalo the next. 

I truly don't have any idea how many times I've been in the United States. Not to mention the family trips to Florida I would take every year from the age of 6 months-12 years of age before I immigrated to Canada.

Is there any way to get a comprehensive list that would tell me all the times I've travelled with dates of entry and exit even? I can't get any further with the DS-160 form at the moment because this looming part.

 

Second Question - When you check your case status on the CEAC website using the case tracker what is the difference between the first ready and the second ready? With all the stress of everything and having to reschedule our wedding I hadn't paid too much attention to what it said in the little box underneath the "Ready" part. 

 

Third Question - I was planning on flying from Canada to the US in a few weeks as travelling to the US by air is still allowed for now. I've checked and saw that they're still granting ESTA's which led me to believe that VWP countries are still allowed to enter too. My ESTA is still valid so I don't need to apply for another, however I do get an I-94 when I travel by land which lasts me 3 months, I haven't travelled by air to the US in years, but I read its just given with the stamp when you fly into the country. I also saw that travellers from the UK are only banned if they've been present in the country in the last 14 days. 

I'm a Canadian Permanent Resident with a UK passport, I've lived in Canada since 2009 I know that routine visa services have been suspended but since the I-94 isn't an actual visa will I still be allowed into the US if I fly there? 

Again I have a valid ESTA already and haven't been present in the UK in the past 14 days. I just want to make sure everything will be okay before I book any flights.

 

Thank you all!

Q 1. These forms require you to exercise common sense. If you can't provide something, then say it on for form or attach an addendum to your file when you meet with the interviewing CO.

Q 2 First ready is the electronic file of your case has arrived and the second ready is your paper file has been received and entered as such into the system.

Q 3 You can travel to the USA on an ESTA. 

 

Good luck and stay engaged.

I checked using the CEAC tracker for my case number and it said that it is ready for me to schedule my interview appointment. 

However I haven't received any paperwork (obviously with things being closed).

Is this a Ready 1 or a Ready 2?
