Lost records of trips outside the US- Please help!

[dara 0]

Hello, my fellow VJ-ers, I am back this time for naturalization. I need your invaluable help yet again. It is approaching fast and, as the title says, I have lost the records I was keeping safely (or so I thought) of my trips outside the US. My computer crashed beyond repair, I have tried everything to save this one file, nothing worked. I know I should have backed up, tough lesson learned. :crying:

I have taken around 10 trips outside the US during this time, six of which I cannot remember the exact date I left, as my passport didn't get stamped when I entered my native country. I can approximate it, but I do not have the exact date.

Please, any suggestions or ideas as to what I should do? I am completely freaking out at this point. I was patiently waiting and thinking I have everything I need and now this stupid accident?

Thank you in advance for all the answers and good luck to all in your immigration journey.

Copy your passport pages, color code all the relevant stamps so the IO can readily see the U.S entry stamps and foreign country entry stamps, make sure you list all trips per the application, and send that with with your application.

Thank you for your answer, aposantos, I have all the relevant stamps of re entry in the US, but I am not sure of the date I left the States. We're talking about trips taken in 2008. They are asking for the date when the trips began as well. What should I do about that?

I forgot to mention also copy the entry stamps of the country you visited, so that should do it then

I don't have the entry stamps, my country hasn't stamped my passport in years at entry, they don't do it anymore for citizens, that's my problem!

Thanks jkelly 07 as well. I just realized I might still have the electronic tickets receipts in my email inbox, I went back and.... miracle, it's all there, even from 2008, thank God. i pieced everything back together, so that part is taken care of.

thanks for your quick responses and good luck in your process
