Declaring previous visa's on DS-260, does visitor visa count?

[WallowinWasabi 0]

Little bit of an odd question and I can't find an answer. When I did my long visit to my husband back in 2022 before we were married, I was held for questioning, got fingerprinted and eventually the officer was extremely kind and let me go after stamping my passport and told me I had to be back before said date passed. Problem is, I don't have that passport anymore since the Canadian government takes them back when you get a new one (now with married name) so I don't know what it said. Do I have to declare this on my DS-260 as a previous visa? Since technically it was just done at the Canadain-US land border crossing?

 

Bonus question: My I94 doesn't reflect another stay I did, do I skip that one and add the following? It was only a 4 day visit in 2023 but I noticed it isn't reflected on my current travel records.

All the questions are about you and as I do not recollect the precise wording I am sure it say what is required.

 

I was not somewhat surprised that Canada confiscated your Passport. Never heard of that.

Please indicate the exact question you are being asked, so we can advise how to answer.

Within the DS-260, there is a section that asks if you've ever been issued a visa. When I entered the US land border from Canada, I had a stamp in my passport (which I no longer have because Canada confiscated it when I applied for a new one with my married name) that indicated a visa (I think tourist) and the date I must return to Canada by. Is this considered a U.S visa that I have been issued that I would need to declare in the DS-260?

If  you entered the USA from Canada using the Canada Visitor Privilege, you would not have a visa number.  Do you see any appropriate selection in visa classification drop down?  If not then you were never issued a visa.

The way I read it you used to have a B and used that.

Thank you!! That was what I had assumed, but I wanted to double check.
