How do I record my departure from the United States after the fact? I did not turn in my I-94 when I left the U.S., what should I do?
SOURCE: CBP.GOV
If you returned home with your Department of Homeland Security Form I-94 (white) or
Form I-94W (green) Departure Record in your passport, it means that your departure
was not recorded properly. It is your responsibility to correct this record. You must
provide U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) sufficient information so we can
record your timely departure from the United States. This will close out your earlier
record of arrival to this country.
If you do not validate a timely departure from the United States, or, if you cannot
reasonably prove otherwise when you apply for admission to the U.S. in the future,
CBP may conclude you remained in the U.S. beyond your authorized stay. If this
happens, the next time you apply to enter the U.S. your visa may be subject to
cancellation or you may be returned immediately to your foreign point of origin.
In particular, visitors who remain beyond their permitted stay in the United States
under the Visa Waiver Program cannot reenter the U.S. in the future without obtaining
a visa from a U.S. Consulate. If this occurs and you arrive at a U.S. port-of-entry
seeking admission under the Visa Waiver Program without a visa, CBP Officers may
order your immediate return to a foreign point of origin.
