My Fiancé is going for his interview in Ghana next month. My question is I don't have copies of my plane tickets. May I give him my expired US passport that have airport stamps of my previous trips?

i don't have the iternary. Trips dates back to 2007

It doesn't matter how long ago that was. You can retrieve that email from your email address, or the website you bought it from or the airline(like klm) customer care number. Trust me you can retrieve it. There are several ways to. You don't want to regret any unwanted surprise outcome.

I sense a huge red flag here. If trips date back to 2007, trust me you don't want to send that because the main notorious question for relationship over 3 years are "why haven't you married her after all this time"?. My best friend got that question and was refused because of that. They have been dating just 4 years. I know every case/ consulate is different. It can work in your favor too for long trusting relationship.

^^ You can't always retrieve it. I couldn't get my itinerary from 2011 from KLM. KLM doesn't store your trip data for too long. Heck, they could retrieve an incident report from my file a year ago.

OP should make copies of all pages of his passport with the stamps in it.

Make photocopies of ALL the pages in your passport. If you have luggage tags somewhere include them.

You can only provide what you have.

I forgot to make copy of my Ghanaian passport when I first met my then fiance in Ghana and I couldn't retrieve my itinerary from KLM. So it was basically, my word that I was in Ghana.I had obtained US passport so my first trip wasn't in it.

Anyway, long story short, it is best to provide any evidence you have to support every statement you have made than to show up with nothing but just your word.

Good luck!

If you created an account on their website, you just log in and all trips will be there. If you bought the ticket as a guest, then unfortunately you can't. Anyways I hope he finds all the evidence he has.

Not necessarily. It depends on the vendor's website. Some might save the users record for a long time while some just for a limited time say 6 months or a year.

Anyway, OP should definitey give her passport to her fiance along with the copies of the stamped pages so that the embassy can keep those copies in their record. Passport stamps or boarding passes are stronger evidences than the iteneraries. Itineraries don't prove you travelled, the stamps do.

Thank you all for the feed back. We won't get deined If I give him the expired US passport right?

Your question can't be answered by us, whether you give him the passport or not it is still up to the consular, which you have to prove them that your marriage is bona fide and this is a very tough embassy! Because Ghana is considered a high fraud country you should read through Ghana portal to get a idea of what your dealing with, and good luck
