What I never understood is that since they have all the arrivals/departures in the system, why they bother having us list it out. It would be simple if they made the determination from their system and asked to to explain specific travel periods that they have an issue with rather than ask us to list out all the dates.
What are they trying to check with that kind of request. I think this form needs to be brought up to the mordern age.
They don't have 100% of the trips for 100% of the people (but you don't know how much they have about you). And the information is not always readily available at the click of a button. It is often easier to verify a given list of trips that you wrote, than to gather all the information from scratch.What I never understood is that since they have all the arrivals/departures in the system, why they bother having us list it out.
My case is 16 years of GC. I could not find all the trip records for the last 16 year that N400 is asking to list up. First I have one passport missing and even with the 2 old and new passports I can not figure out exactly when and where I travelled. I did Excel spreadsheet to list up almost 35-40 trips during the time but yet it is not complete.
I understand the the physical presense is required for the last 5 years only. Then why they are asking for all the trips beyond the 5 years since GC? So if I skip the unclear trips and/or wrong trip records with CBP older than 5 year, then can it be alarmed?
