Lost boarding passes

[Steve64 1]

I have either lost or misplaced the boarding passes for my outgoing flight to Manila. I do have my boarding pass from Manila to Bacolod. I also have the boarding passes from Bacolod back to the USA. Do you think this is going to be a problem? I do have plenty of pictures of us together. I do not have a hotel receipt because I stayed at her house. Although I do have a receipt from the hotel for the one night I spent in Manila on the way back to the USA. I also have 11 pages of skype call records. Are the outgoing boarding passes necessary ? Any advice would be appreciated

Passport stamps. They do not care HOW you got to the Phillipines, your other documentation proves you were there.

ya, stamps in passport ...

but - you have any of the bag tags?

Copies of the flight iteneraries from the airlines will work also. These in conjunction with the passport stamps show that you booked the flight and actually made the trip.

well ####### i guess i'm screwed then. i figured stamps in the passport showing i entered the country pretty much covered the fact that i entered the country....

Passport stamps and bag tags if you have them, should be ok. When I fly to to the PI I usually dont check a bag (lived there for 2 years, and have a lot of clothes at our house there). The more stuff you have the better, so I would print out the Airline receipts too.

also please, pretty please update your timeline, when you send in your packet, or do so now if you already have.

Thanks!

Not always prudent to use passport-stamps--especially if a USC petitioner did not use US passport to enter the visited country (as my case in 2005 when I filed K-1 petition for Pras).

Provide copies of all pages of your passport. The passport stamps are more solid evidence than boarding passes, anyway. It would be nice to submit both, but the passport stamps should be enough.

Some airlines allow you to request confirmation of flights in the past.

I did this with AirCanada. All I had to do was go online, and request them, and they emailed to me within about 2 days. I printed them out, and also had passport stamps for some visits (Canadians don't often get stamps).

Not sure if they airline you used allows requests of confirmation, but it's worth looking into if you don't have passport stamps.

Not necessarily. If you flew on an airline where you have a frequent flyer number, you should be able to log in and get the info if it isn't too old. Or if you kept copies of the confirmation emails. If you used a travel website then maybe you can log in there and get copies of the old itenararies. If you don't have those, but you have copies of hotel receipts then that should be ok as well. As others have said, the main thing is that you went there to visit your SO, not really how you got there. If it isn't a Schengen country then you should have the passport stamps. Bag tags, iteneraries, boarding passes, hotel receipts and anything else are just further evidence.

BTW, copy of another document proving US citizenship (passport-card both sides, US birth¹ or naturalisation²) will also work nicely for such a petition.

1. for US-born citizens
2. US citizen, not by birth (and exactly the document I acrually sent a copy of)

I did not have my boarding pass either. I used the receipt from the purchase of the tickets and a copy of the e-ticket. And the stamp in my passport entering Peru and leaving. They accepted without questions. Good luck
