 Canadian citizen trying to apply for US Visa for myself... my lawyer said i94 is required... when I filled out , it doesn't show travel history... whereas my lawyer said there has to be travel history while I go through the form.?

Very confusing, so I think we need more details.  Who is the Canadian citizen and who is applying for the US visa?

Typically the I-94 does not show travel history.  Just the dates you were in the US. 

 

Unless you are talking about the I-94 related to multiple border crossings between Canada and US?  For that I have heard from some that one I-94 record is generated for each entry and exit, and from others that a single I-94 is generated for multiple entries and exits over a given time period - 90 days or 180 days.   I am not sure which is correct.

 

What is it that you are trying to ask? Who is your friend, who wants the US Visa, where is that person currently (that wants the US VIsa)?  what "lawyer" are you referring to?   You state "behalf of my friend" and then you go on to state "my lawyer", "I filled out".   What you wrote is confusing.

Canadian citizens are not issued a form I-94 when entering for tourism and business. They will be issued an I-94 for entering under any other status. This differs from other nationalities who cross the land border who must always get a paper I-94.

 

I am a UK Citizen and Canadian PR. I am issued an I-94 for each 90 day period which I use for entering and exiting during that 90 day period. Before the period is up, I return the paper I-94 by mail or by handing it to the CBSA. On my next trip to the US I go into secondary to provide a fresh set of fingerprints, pay $6 and get a new form I-94. As mentioned before, generally Canadians do not have to do this.

 

If you want your travel history, you will have to send a FOI to CBP which takes about 4-8 weeks. https://foiaonline.gov/foiaonline/action/public/home?utm_source=google&utm_medium=google&utm_term=(not provided)&utm_content=undefined&utm_campaign=(not set)&gclid=undefined&dclid=undefined&GAID=415949634.1597461907

 

The I-94 online website only works if you've been issued a paper, or electronic (when arriving by air or sea) form I-94 as far as I know.

 

You shouldn't need an I-94 for applying for a Visa as far as I know, but they will require you to report your last 5 or so trips to the US and how long you stayed. Is this for an immigrant or nonimmigrant visa?
