[truedream15]

Can anyone let me know how long it takes to get the US boarder entry/exit report after applying on FOIA online? Thanks!

Thank you. I read some threads-very helpful. I submitted my request by registering an account. So the records will be sent by email or regular mail?

If you provided an e-mail address, I believe you will receive your records by e-mail. I did not provide an e-mail address so I received my records by regular mail.

I heard the I-94 report is sufficient to prove US Entry/Exit. The I-94 report can be obtained instantly online. No need for FOIA.

I submitted FOIA request but it was denied after two months, since I did not provided adequate identifying personal information. In those two months, I called FOIA and after several conversations with different departments, I was finally able to navigate to a FOIA representative. She told me that FOIA requests can be fulfilled within 2 months to 2 years (or may be more), depending on your case and availability of records and various port of entries to the US.

I did not waited for receiving response from FOIA, and I opened a ticket with CBSA to get entry exit records between Canada and the US. I received those records in about 5 weeks. When I was sending those records to CIC, I also attached I-94 records and all itineraries for which more than 24 hours were spent outside Canada, and it worked.

Very strange, I sumbitted passport copies as supporting document, got the report within a month. Very straightforward.

The time varies. One time we requested entries and it took 30 days, the next time about 60 days. A friend (a U.S. citizen) is up to 82 days now without getting his report.
