Passpot question

[fosh36 1]

Hello everybody. I and my fiancé are getting together the i129f packet. It is almost complete we are just figuring out the evidence process. I became a U.S. citizen trough Naturalization in June 2022. Before that I was still a citizen of Kazakhstan, and had a KZ(Kazakhstan) passport. I was in Aktau, KZ, on 31st of December 2021 through May 2022, which is the time line me and fiancé started dating (January, 17). At that time she was on winter holidays at home in Aktau, and we would hang out and spend quality time together. Then in February she went back to Almaty, KZ, to study, and I visited her 19th through 26th of February. Then I was back in Aktau. Then she visited me for a week in March. Then I visited her back in Almaty in April for about 10 days. And since then we were long distance. In June 2022 I got Naturalized and had to give up my KZ passport, because they do not allow dual citizenship. I had all those flight passport stamps on KZ passport (which i gave up). I still have all the ticket itineraries with my name. Which I am going to use as evidence. I acquired a U.S. passport later and visited her in July 2023 for two weeks. And I am planning on scanning my whole current passport with the stamp as evidence as well. Now, I just thought of this, would the USCIS find it fishy that I do not have any stamps from my previous flights with a KZ passport. How should I go about this? Should I even do anything about it? We have pictures from all those times together, which we are going to use. It is real hard being apart, and this process is very new for us, and we want to be extra careful. 

 

I, Apologize for this long of a message. 

 

Thank you.

Also, Should I describe as briefly and detailed as possibly for all those times together, on a separate sheet of paper for the questions 53-54 of the i129f? and should I just write in the space provided "See additional information" or what should I write?

I think you're overthinking it. You had a valid reason not to have your KZ passport. Do you have any docs confirming you renounced your KZ citizenship?

Yeah, now that I think about it, my Naturalization certificate has the date and all the information needed if anything. Thank you.

That's what we did - just listed all of the additional visits besides the "qualifying" visit, with dates and locations.  I don't think the loss of your old passport is a big deal.  Just write a short explanation for that, along with the other supporting documentation from the visits.

The totality, quantity, and quality of evidence matters more than the absence of one type of evidence. 
 

Despite having plenty of stamps, I never submitted them because it is tedious. Instead I submitted photos, airline receipts, and hotel bookings for over 10 meetings. Approved.

 

You’ve had several meetings and your evidence is good.
