Then why don't they just do that for Mexico?

 

I've asked for a stamp, as did they and have been denied 

Your admission/departure was recorded electronically, I promise.

I've seen people get RFEs for meeting req and everything you have + itinerary are options listed as proof along with boarding passes and forms such as I-94. No where do they say you must have undeniable proof of meeting. 

 

It's about convincing the officer you met. No one can say for sure exactly how much it takes to convince them but a boarding pass is 100% not a requirement, it's just stronger evidence

Yeah so they can request that then, I didn't disagree with you but then why don't people suggest how to do that instead of berating about lost boarding pass or meeting again?

 

I've never had to pull those records anywhere but US so I have zero experience and wasn't sure if they're accessible in every country

This is getting silly.   To clarify for others:

 

The requirement to have met in the immediate two years is absolute.   Receipts from restaurants hotels, , events, etc around the time of the meeting are good, as is evidence that you actually took the flight (not itinerary or receipt-  those do not confirm that you travelled).   This is all primary evidence.

 

Photos taken together is considered secondary, as the date it was taken is not always verifiable.

I’m certainly not berating anyone.

 

I’ve been on VJ for 7 years, and we did a K-1.   So my advice is based on that.  

 

YMMV.

 

Like Mike, I’m out.

I do have my itineraries, I forgot to add that in the original post. They're bare bones documents but I have them. I mean, feasibly I could've driven to Cancun so I'm hoping boarding passes and stamps are not necessary (from what I understand, you don't need a passport to cross from Texas to Mexico). I have bank statements from ATMS and ferry rides, but I really only used my card to pull cash out. My fiancé has his ducks in a row thankfully.

I think you're fine honestly. It's really up to you, people get approved without boarding passes all the time but there's no guarantees. 

People I know personally had i-94 so can't speak for cases I know personally

I'm not the most organized person. My Russian fiancé and I had a wonderful trip to Mexico last month, and I'm pretty sure I crumpled my boarding pass up and threw it away along with some other trash in our AirBnb. Then I was given a small receipt after I got through the airport in Cancun instead of a stamp, and I forgot it when it was time to depart. I had to go to some office there and fill out a form saying I didn't receive the stamp on my passport, and when I asked if I get a stamp after that they said no. I got home, didn't think about filing the petition for awhile, and now I don't know where that form is. Or my return boarding pass. I have flight receipts but after reaching out to Spirit, they can't send me a copy of old boarding passes. I have the AirBnb receipt, I have transactions in Mexico, pictures, my fiancé has his boarding passes...how screwed am I?

Have you tried to call the airline? Some airlines like Delta, Lufthansa, Air France,...etc. you can download the history online (i did recently) however I don't think that's being any issue you already have other proofs
