Best Answer

The US does not stamp any passport on exit of the country.
All officials know this so it will not be a problem.

Most likely your exit has been recorded; you can check that online these days.

This question and answers explain it for a land exit but it works for air exits as well.

Answer 2

Me as a German, I entered and left the US dozens of times over the years and never got an exit stamp. Authorities know by the airline database that you left... so, no stamps on leaving... at least in the US. Most other countries do though.
