Do you need to mentione the transit country/airport in N-400

[Victoria97]

Hi,
I am filling out the N-400 form and need the expert/experienced advise from this forum on the following item:

Part 7C, column:'Countries to which you traveled' - Do you need to mention the transit airport/country here if it was just a stopover for less than 24 hours.

Thanks in advance.

No, unless they were for longer than 24 hrs.

Yes, along with the times you boarded the flights and the name of the pilot who flew the aircraft.....lol
Answer the question only, countries that you travelled to, not the countries that you stopped over to catch a connecting flight.

I am really in trouble now, i know the flight info but can't remember the pilot's name

Thanks for your response. Only reason I am asking is I stayed in a hotel outside the airport and I had to get my passport stamped for entry and exit.

I presume this is a one-off transit and not a list of them. You would be safer listing these in N400. Since you have that country's stamp in the passport, it will also make it easy to tally in case they check your passport.

Bob - a question for you. The 24 hour rule is for absences longer than 24 hours. I presume the whole trip here was much longer than a day, and hence even if the OP stayed in country X for 8 hours, he/she might want to list that. He/she could also list this single trip as
From Date SS to Date TT, Country X (1 day transit), Country B.

If you only touched that country in transit and didn't leave the airport, you don't need to list the transit country.

That is more than transit, so you have to list it unless the whole trip was under 24 hours.

Note that for a single journey where you visited multiple countries, you're not expected to list the individual countries separately line by line. You'd just fill in the Countries box with the list of countries visited, with one start date and one end date for the overall combined journey. So the exact date, city, or airport where you stayed overnight in that country doesn't matter.

The entire trip is more than 24 hours, but individual segments of less than 24 hrs do not need to be disclosed. I see no benefit in disclosing what is not required.

List the whole trip as one, but you might as well include the country through which you transited since they stamped your passport. No harm in that.
