Passport stamps and Boarding passes.

[mehdali 4]

While on my first trip to meeting my now fiance I lost ALL boarding passes, I only have the returning boarding passes from his country to the USA. Also the second time I went for a visit they stamped my passport upon arrival,the ink smeared!!!!! and U cant tell the date, you can only see the stamp when I left the country, I have ALL boarding passes from my second visit. I'm just worried about the 2 issues I listed above. Does anyone have a similar situation? I put a post-it note telling them I lost first visit boarding passes and I only had the returning ones,, also put post it note on the passport stamp explaining it had smeared but you could clearly see the exit stamp ( clearly you can't leave a country where they once "DIDN'T" let you in) I hope it makes sense. Any suggestions? IS there a possible RFE? I still haven't sent it out my package, I want to be as clear as possible. Any help is appreciated.

Pictures are more important than boarding passes. You can send the airline tickets too as proof.

As long as you have something from one of your trips that shows you have met in person, you will be fine.

Wrong. Boarding passes are more important than pictures (tho pictures are important too).

To the OP: if you have boarding passes from the second visit, you will be fine.

We didn't have all boarding passes from or visits either. We put the one we had + airline tickets when we had them.

We had the problem with the visa stamp too, the ink totally faded, you can't even see the country is France, and there is no stamp when you leave... so no useable stamp for this trip.

All went fine.

You have the boarding passes from when you return to the USA + at least one stamp per trip that indicate you were there. So don't worry, that proove you were there.

You cannot prove that you visited the fiance(e) or husband/wife with just boarding passes.
