Missing Entry Stamp in Passport!

[ichi 0]

I'm getting everything organized for hubby's Naturalization interview on Thursday, and while looking thru his passport noticed that on our trip back to Lao last year, the Seattle airport didn't stamp his passport upon re-entry!!

We have the intinerary from the Airline, but other than than....nothing (I can't find the ticket stubs!)

Is this going to be a problem??? We didn't think to check his passport at the time last year. We were so tired and jet lagged from the flight it didn't even cross our minds.

Will this disqualify him?????

I'm sure you'll be fine. If you disclosed it in your N-400 you can bring it up at the interview and show your itinerary. I don't even think they'd care at all.

even if he didnt get a stamp, they still scanned his passport and its in the computer. he will be fine. at the interview the IO will know what day he came back.just take the intinerary from the Airline with you if it makes you feel better. good luck on his interview

Went almost crazy looking at my wife's passport to verify her trips, we already had a log. Not the neatest people in the world, no order to the stamps, stamps on top of stamps, half stamps, but just said the heck with it.

Her not too nice IO wanted to see her passport, wife said she just flipped through the pages and said okay. Just make sure your log is correct.

Well, he put the trips down on his application and will bring the transcript of his itinerary for back up should they push the issue, but he wasn't planning on volunteering that the stamp was missing (we didn't even notice that until last night.)

And yeah, his greencard got scanned, he got the fingerprints and the retinal scan...shouldn't be hard to track down that he went thru immigration on said date last year.

Thanks so much for your help....I am thankful that it sounds like others have had this happen it and hasn't caused any problems.

It's just lame tho that they'd not stamp the darn thing!!!!! Urrrgggh...

No need to worry. All you need to do is enter the information you have and to the best of your knowledge. If you don't have exact dates, of exits and entries just indicate them as 'approximate' if the form.

Exactly: don't volunteer this information. Most likely the IO won't even ask for his passport. Don't worry, he's in te system that also has the passport information he used for entry at Sea-Tac. If the IO asks about it you just tell him/her this passport was used in conjunction with GC.
