Hi All, my country of Origin/passport is India and I have lived and worked in USA for a few months on one occasion and since last 6 years (USA is my country of residence. The Travel History section asks for all trips ourside the country of origin or the country of residence. Does it mean I do not need to mention any if I did not visit any other country other than India (country of origin) or USA (country of residence)? Please can some learned person advice? I am stuck here for clarification. Many thanks

should be fine. I didn't list any trips between my country of origin and my country of residence. Only those visits/countries of vacation, short time

thankyou for your reploy. I am trying to determine that If I work here in USA as a resident alien (I do not hold USA PR), so do I need to enter US travel history in the section or no.

Doesn’t matter if you are not PR, thats why it’s called country or residence. Unless you have lived in another country before beside the US and India. Otherwise, like my case, I listed only countries that I visites for vacations

Thankyou so much. That gives me a good idea. What is your current status of application? How long back did you submit it?

So its not essential to list travel to country of residence - this is what many informed me. But to be on the safe side, I even added travel to US (country of residence). There isnt any harm in doing so. But again - I had checked with some IRCC approved consultants - and was told that one does not need to provide travel info for country of residence.

Thanks @Abhi1982 , so I assume in the address history section, you would have mentioned US address all the time . for example, if someone is from India and stayed in US for most of the time in the last 10 years except a few weeks of travel to India. Can we write address and Travel history as follows?

Address history

From To Country

Jan 2011. Jan 2021 USA

Travel History

From To Country Purpose

Jan 2011 Jan 2015 USA Employment
Feb 2015 Mar 2015 India Family Visit
Apr2015 Jan 2021 USA Employment

appreciate experts' help. I am confused whether I should add my native country address too under address history when I was visiting India for few weeks.
