Reg. US Transits in Travel History

[vrahulan]

Hi All,

I'm currently live in Canada and traveled to India last year and transit was through US.
When completing the 'Travel History' should I mention the US transits as separate entry?
If so, I need some inputs on how to input those entries?

Onward: Vancouver - LA - Doha - Chennai
Return: Chennai - Doha - LA - Vancouver

Transit is not considered a travel. You didn't go outside the airport, correct? How could you consider this as a travel if you just spent a few hours on airport to change the flight.

Seconding the other response-- any place you didn't leave the airport doesn't count as a "destination."

I had a weird situation where my passport got stamped in a country I only had a layover in. I left it out of my travel history but explained in my LOE that I never left the airport and that's why it's not part of my travels, despite having the stamp. No questions were asked.

I have a different take. US does not have international transit. You obviously had to go through US immigration at Vancouver airport and likely have a stamp in your passport. I think you should include it in your travel history and mention the reason as "transit".
