Indian Passport. Missing entry stamp into USA
I recently traveled from India to USA. I am on H1B. I entered USA on 29th December 2016. As my Visa extension is due in August 2017, I was gathering documents for Visa Extension. It was required to provide a scanned copy of passport page with all entry and exit stamps.
Myself and my wife both travelled back from India. My wife's passport has a entry stamp with date as 29th December 2016. But the same is missing from my passport. I guess the officer missed putting the entry stamp on my passport. My I 94 reflects the correct date of entry as 29th December. Somehow I still have my boarding pass from this trip (usually I throw them once trip is complete).
- Want to know what could be implications of missing entry stamp when I travel to India next time (somewhere towards early next year)?
- Does this impact my H1B Visa extension ?
- Also what can I do to correct this information on my passport?
