4 months later, I finally received my rescheduled n400 interview date after USCIS wrongfully scheduled an interview for me on a Saturday.

 

Since I have filed N400 last June, I have travelled to Hong Kong, Taiwan and France.

 

However, I have no record of these trips.  I entered HK with my HK ID card using Smart Gate, my passport was not stamped. Taiwan does not stamp our passports, and I was waived through at CDG upon entry and departure. When I returned to the US, I used Global Entry kiosks and there was no stamp in my passport either.

 

I will be updating the examiner my trips, however, I have no proof of these trips. I reckoned it may cause confusion? Does anybody have similar experience? Should I bring my trip itinerary?

I have used Global Entry to enter the country just a few months ago, in my experience you take the receipt to the officer just before you leave the luggage area with your stuff, there should be a line for Global Entry people prior to existing the area. They always stamp your passport (in my experience). 

 

Also one thing you should know is that airline that you use always report your departure to the Homeland security.

Strange.  I've had Global Entry for several years and they never stamped my passport.  I just hand over the print-out and walk away.  Until this year, they didn't even ask to see my passport.  They do now, but no stamps.

I have it since 2016, but my passport always got stamped upon giving the receipt to the officer. As a matter of fact I remember one time it didn't get stamped and the officer came looking for me to stamp it! :D Unless there is regional differences in how they handle this (which I doubt it is) it could be the passport!

I doubt it, because, like I said, until fairly recently no one ever requested to see a passport in the Global Entry line.  Chalk it up to airport differences, I guess.

What I was trying to say is maybe its because my country of origin? But regardless, I don't think the OP should worry, if they ask I think providing the itinerary from the ticket should suffice.

In the past 4 years, I’ve entered at least 20 times through BOS, JFK, SFO, DFW, YYZ,LAX EWR, not once did they stamp my passport.

All you need to do during the interview is provide the dates you left and entered during your travel since filing N400. They don’t ask for proof. I had two 3-4 weeks long travels and updatem them accordingly during my interview.
