DHS TRIP Program Gives Foreign Travelers a Way to Avoid Screening Delays or Correct Travel Records

The DHS Traveler Redress Inquiry Program (DHS TRIP) is a way for travelers who have had trouble getting through the international travel screening process. The program might help you if:

• You were denied or delayed boarding for your flights
• You were told your fingerprints were incorrect, your photo did not match your passport, or you are on the “no fly list”
• You consistently go through extended screening
• Your travel record shows an inaccurate overstay
• You believe you were unfairly detained or denied entry into the U.S.

If you have been a visitor who has been denied entry and your visa was cancelled at the airport, you might be required to file a DHS TRIP inquiry before you can get a new visa.
