I did the same as have many others who got approved. I didnt send all other pages because they were blank. If i had other stamps, I would include them.

I didn’t include all passport pages either. Just my stamps of entering the country with copies of my flight tickets to correspond with those dates. Praying we all hear something soon!

I'm pretty sure they're asking for all pages to make sure you're not hiding any stamps/marks by not including certain pages. But I'm also sure they won't care too much esp if you're the applicant :)

I'm on a trip to see my fiancee now, and I'm not sure why they even check stamps:

  • UK (transit stop): No stamp
  • Singapore (our first stop): Only got a stamp when I got there
  • Malaysia did stamp my passport.
  • Australia (our second stop, where I am now): All digital entry (SmartGate) with no passport stamp.  They don't seem to have a system like our I-94 either.  I don't even know how to find out, other than from my boarding pass, how to prove that I was in Australia!

As other countries move away from stamping passports, I think USCIS will need a different method.

Is there any approvals today?? I feel USCIS is not working at all! Like someone said probably they are super short on staff or this feels like the slowest month ever, I thought December was slow, but January is been crazy slow.

I know, I tried very hard to get distracted with my two boys, but they are on vacations from school, so there is not much activity going on, I started selling all my stuff from my buisiness and I wish I could go to visit my parents in mexico city but have to save money, and I wish I wouldnt be so anxious but its impossible when two months ago the wait expected was less than now. Anyways lets pray and hope for soon noa2's for everyone. Im trying not to check on the website all the time. haha I will try harder not too.
