Q: How do I prove when I left the country in 2000?
I submitted my i485 adjustment of status application. They responded to me with an RFE asking for proof of when I left the US in the year 2000.
I no longer have the passport that I used when exiting the country. I have put in two CBP FOIA requests as well as a USCIS FOIA request. All of them say that they have every single other day that I entered and departed the country, just not that one!
What should I do??
A: The FOIA is good but that doesn’t provide the information, you will need to provide a notarized statement explaining the situation. May be worthwhile to have an attorney review and assist with this response. Good luck!
A: You can contact the Border Patrol of the country you travelled to (your home country) and ask for their record of your ENTRY. Obviously if you entered there, you exited the US. Best wishes!
