Jul 9, 2015 at 18:53 comment added Mark Mayo I somehow still had an I94 last time that wasn't handed back in. The guy at the border was all "you were meant to give this back!". I asked "so what happens now?". He simply shoved it in a drawer and that was that. Of course this is just a story, not a rule, but you may be fine.
Jul 9, 2015 at 17:33 comment added Michael Hampton As far as I know the online database goes back only to 2008. I wouldn't worry about it.

May 28, 2015 at 22:09 comment added Relaxed @MichaelHampton Sorry, I did not notice the OP mentioned he was from India, I thought you meant that every country returns old passports.
May 28, 2015 at 21:32 comment added Michael Hampton @Relaxed India returns old passports now, but perhaps they didn't do "5-6 yrs back"...
May 28, 2015 at 21:28 comment added Relaxed @MichaelHampton Not everywhere.

May 27, 2015 at 17:49 comment added jhir134 Thankyou all for your response I really appreciate it ! :)
May 27, 2015 at 17:49 comment added jhir134 He never got his old passport back. He got it renewed through some agent around 5-6 yrs back. I had this question becoz, the authorities do have proper records of arrival, however, not of departure and they verify the timely departure through the arrival stamp at home country on the passport(which my father does'nt have now as it was on the old passport) Hopefully he should be fine at port of entry.
May 26, 2015 at 23:10 comment added Calchas Yes you will receive some questioning about it, if he left without submitting the appropriate form. Make sure you have your stories straight. But it isn't unusual for these things to go missing.
May 26, 2015 at 20:35 comment added Michael Hampton Did he lose the old passport, then? As you know the old passport is cancelled and returned to you when you receive your new passport.
May 26, 2015 at 20:06 comment added phoog Since your father submitted his I-94 when leaving, you shouldn't worry about having trouble when he returns.
May 26, 2015 at 19:28 comment added hmakholm left over Monica x @jhir: What makes you think there is a database anywhere that does contain a record of his arrival but does not contain a matching record of his departure? You have checked the current online database and found neither. Very well -- that simply means that his trip was from before the data in the current online database originates. That doesn't mean that whatever internal database the US authorities thinks he entered and never left.
May 26, 2015 at 19:27 comment added jhir134 I've been reading online and it looks like if one does not have a proper departure record, it is considered that one had overstayed. If not i94, they check for the arrival stamp in one's passport, however as my father's old passport was not handed over to him after renewal, he does not have that as well to show/prove his timely departure from the country.
May 26, 2015 at 19:21 comment added hmakholm left over Monica If he did leave after 20 days back in 2007 and handed in his I-94 while leaving, what makes you think there would be any problems now? The online I-94 database you can search only covers electronic I-94's; if you don't see any entry registered in that database, there can't be any exit missing from it either.
