no stamp in passport. how serious is it?

My boyfriend is a GC holder he went to Ukraine on June 10 2008 and came back on July 31 2008. Just today I looked in his passport and saw that there is no entering stamp for this year(July 31 2008). What does it mean? Did the officer forget? Where should we apply? He must be in the system that he entered the USA. Please help me. Thank You

2 [konxvetka]. По4ему вы решили задать вопрос на английском??? У вас трудности с русским??? (без подкола)…

I’ve already explained it before. Yes, I do have difficulties. does it make any difference for You? I can write i Russian but I doubt You’d understand it.

Для меня - да, имеет. Для остальных - на знаю, возможно да, возможно нет. Если у вас реально трудности с русским языком, то тогда все ОК.

Thanks for understanding.

A returning resident alien is not required to present a valid passport for reentry into the U.S. (see 8 CFR 211.2), although most will have one since a passport is often required for entry into a foreign country. When presented, the passport should be stamped, endorsed “ARC” or “R/P,” as appropriate, and, if not already written on the passport, the alien’s “A” number should be written on the page with the admission stamp.

Esli on ne pokazyval na v’ezde pasport, to otsutstvie v nem shtampa - eto sledstvie etogo.

А по теме… Не хлопнули ему штамп в паспорт, ну и 4то??? Когда решит (если решит, коне4но) подавать аппликацию на гражданство, в форме пусть укажет этот промежуток времени, 4то он был за пределами страны…

That’s what I’m worrying about. This period of his absence should be recorded somewhere, right?When he’s gonna fill the application for citizenship how can he prove that he wasn’t more than 1,5 months if there is no stamp? should we request copy of his entries and departures? Thank You

Hranite posadochnye talony na samolet na ego poezdki 10 iunia i 31 iulia.

We have only boarding passes from Kiev_New York but not for local flight ( I didn’t look in the passport until today so we didn’t keep it) . We also have boarding passes from vacation ( August 4th 2008) Would it help? Thank You

+1.

Я собственно так и делаю. Мне 4ерез год с копейками на гражданство подавать, а загранпаспорт 5 октября 2008 [expired]. Я сей4ас на Украине и буду делать новый, в котором кроме последней пе4ати (когда вернусь в [USA]), никаких отметок не будет.

Esli vy boites’ za dokazatel’stva dat v’ezda - vyezda, to na kajdyi perelet nujno imet’ libo shtamp v pasporte (o v’ezde v USA dlia dat v’ezda i o v’ezde v inuiu stranu dlia dat vyezda), libo posadochnyi talon na samolet.
Dokazatel’stvom podonyh dat iavliaiutsia lish’ reisy v kotoryh odin iz koncov reisa v USA, a drugoi - vne USA. Vnutrennie resiry v USA ili celikom vneshnie reisy nichego ne dokazyvaiut.

so I don’t have to request any copies?Because I found this info:

"CBP only has complete records of the entry and exit of persons arriving and departing by air or sea. If you are a legal permanent resident and crossed at a land border, it is unlikely that we would have a record of your travels. Also CBP’s records only go back to 1982, even for air travel.

Vam prosce predostavit’ inye dokazatel’stva. Vse chto est’ u CBP, budet u nih avtomaticheski dlia naturalizacii

So it’s not really so big problem as I thought it was, right?maybe I should call airlines to send a “proof of presence on the plane”? if it’s possible, of course… Thank You

Samo po sebe otsutstvie shtampa nichego ne znachit. No dokazatel’stvo dat mojet ponadobit’sia. Esli net posadochnogo talona, poprobuite poluchit’ pis’mo ot avialinii s datami poezdki

А разве на пограничном контроле не свайпают грин кард? Вот у меня - да. Я всегда считала, что на карточке храниться вся информация по въезам и выездам. А то ведь на самом деле паспорт можно потерять, поменять, а потом носись со всякими доказательствами.

Bremia dokazatel’stva lejit na vas.
