Yes absolutely. I have many blank pages in mine, but the instructions clearly state all pages. I would not risk your file initially being rejected for failure to provide all pages. I would save yourself some time and just follow the instructions precisely and help to ensure you have better chances of your file being approved without needing to provide additional information.

They don't give stamps for US citizens at the Canadian border, so I guess I will be sending a lot of blank pages :-)

You can ask them at the border for a passport stamp, and tell them you need this for your I-129F application. That's what I did when I went there 2 weeks ago.

Yes, copy all pages and copy them twice. Why? Your evidence you two met in the same place at the same time. Do the same with your fiance's passport. This is not the time to worry about saving trees. It's the time to make sure you do it in excess and correct! Anything less is a chance for an RFE and wasted time.

Unfortunately, I didn't think they did that so I didn't ask the last time I was there. By the next time I'm there, we will have, hopefully, already applied, but maybe my fiance can get the US side to stamp hers when she visits here in a couple of weeks.

Well, I just made 5 copies...just to be on the safe side. :-)

My passport has stamps from crossing to visit, never asked for them they just stamped it lol

My husbands passport wasn't stamped, we included copy of every page in colour and a copy of his birth cert.

We opened his passport so that 2 pages of it would be on 1 computer sheet to try to save some sheets.

We had no problems with this, included ticket stubs and itinerary's and 25 photos etc. Front-loaded I guess for Canada but had very fast smooth and no RFEs or hangups anywhere.

They've never stamped either of our passports. I guess they don't do it routinely for Canadian and US citizens since so many of them cross the border daily?

I made my passport copies in color and opened it so there were two pages per copy page as well.

I don't have the boarding pass from my last trip there, but I do have the baggage claim tags and they have my name, city and date on them. I hope those, along with my itinerary will work for my visit. We do have the boarding passes from her visits. We have to take more pictures! We only have a few of us together since are usually taking pictures of each other.

We hope that the path is fast and smooth for us too! :-)
