FOIA records question?

[thecoolguysam]

I had one missing entry on my i94 record thus i have ordered FOIA records for myself.

Now all the entries show up.

If I look at the report, it only has entries data(arrival) for land travel and no exit data (departure) for land travel.

However, if i look at the air travel, it shows both entry(arrival) and exit(departure) data.

Is not having exit (departure) data by land travel normal? Did CBP miss it?

If someone has gone through this process, please let me know.

IIRC land exit data is not reliable for CBP as the i94s often show the date the i94 stub was actually processed rather than the date you left. There is a PDF somewhere stating this but I can't locate it. If you cross reference CBP entry dates with CBSA entry dates you should be able to match them up for accurate exit/entry.

To have no CBP exit dates at all is very unusual though. They are normally mostly there but exits are inaccurate with a delay of days/weeks/months...

Did you always return your i94 stub when returning to Canada at the land border crossing?

Thank you, this is a answer i was expecting. I only used to return my i94 when it was about to expire. my i94 shows some correct departures and some incorrect however, foia just shows arrivals for land travels only and arrivals and departures for all air travel.
