Odd question about passport stamps.

First of all, thanks to those who have helped me out with questions already.

I am only at the I-129F stage right now, but I'm looking ahead to cover bases for the interview as well. I'm the USC and my fiance is Canadian.

When my fiance comes down to visit, he usually asks for a passport stamp. Unfortunately, he's only been granted one stamp of entry into the U.S. out of all the times he's come to visit (the people at the border most recently told him they just "don't stamp Canadian passports unless they have to," even when my fiance practially begged for a stamp). On the flipside, he has a single return stamp into Canada from a different, later trip.

My question is this - at some point, my fiance will probably have to show his passport to someone, and they're going to see that he only has two stamps. I'm pretty sure the stamps just have dates on them, and time between the entry stamp and the "back to Canada" stamp is over a year. He wasn't actually down here for a year, and I don't want the immigration folks to think that's the case. Do they understand that Canadian passport stamping is spotty, or should I be worried that my fiance will get in trouble for appearing to stay longer than is allowed? He doesn't have a visitor visa or anything, he just comes down as a tourist for a week or two at a time.

Thanks for any help you might be able to offer.

Canadians are special beasts when it comes to visiting the US. USCIS (and NVC when it comes to listing all your vistis to the US) understands this.

You still have to show proof that you've physically met in the past 2 years. I would include a letter stating how often your bf visits even though he only has 1 passport stamp

You'll be fine

Good luck
