Does anybody know for sure if an immigration officer has my automated arrival/departure records infront of him at my citizenship interview to verify my exit-entry records. I didn't keep a track of them, and tried to order my exit-entry records from USCIS under Freedom of Information Act. THe answer was that they didn't have those in their database, and I was reffered to Customs and Border Protection. When I ordered my exit-entry records from US Customs, they told me it would take min. 4-8 weeks to get them. My citizenship interview is coming up, and I don't want to reschedule it if I don't get a response on time. My passport doesn't have any stamps, and I don't have any manifests or FF or anything indicated any trips outside. I don't remember taking any trips honestly. What if I missed something and they will accuse me of lying and deport me for something that I don't even remember? Please, anybody who knows how the system works, any information provided would be appriciated.

I think they may have the information available. Last time I entered USA the customs officer entered my daughter's name on my I94 number. I went to customs to sort out the mess (because according to the records I never entered the country, while she entered twice). The customs officer was able to pull the records for the past 7 years (both me and her). They did not show me the screen, but told me the exact dates and places I entered (we used to go home for Christmas only, so it is easy to remember). Not exactly answer to you question but hope it helps.
Guys, thanks a lot. I know that Customs and Border Protection has this information for sure. USCIS office however told me that they don't have this information in their database. I thought they have the same database, or at least USCIS immigration officers have immediate access to my arrival - departure records through their database, but they sent me to CBP instead. Now I am waiting like an idiot for them to send me my US exit-entry records that can take GOD only knows how long

That depends on the country the OP entered. I have visited Canada 15-20 times since I moved to the US. If I entered by air, the passport was scanned to verify its authenticity, but never stamped. On land crossings, my verbal declaration of being Canadian is all Canada has required so far.
