What year...?

Which of these is correct, please?

What year did you move to the US?

or

In what year did you move to the USA?

I think they are both correct and that the difference in style/formality is the same as with "What time...?" and "At what time...?". Am I right?

Thank you.

You can also ask "When did you move to the U.S.?" but that could get you answers you didn't expect:

It was in the spring

After my dad got a new job

In 2003 (the one you are looking for)

As GG said, both seem fine. In the New York Times:
