No Entry Stamp on Passport

I am completing my N-400 and looking at my trip dates in passport and realized one time US immigration did not stamp my passport when I came back from Europe, there is an exit stamp from Amsterdam airport but no arrival/entry stamp from Minneapolis USCIS. It only happened once at MSP as every other time my passport was stamped by USCIS at Chicago O’Hare . Would that be a problem at interview when they looked at my passport?
 
Actually, USCIS does not stamp passports, it's the CPB that does that. They're separate agencies. How long was your trip for?
 
Lucky you.
European citizens never get their passport stamped when they enter/exit the EU.
I had some 20+ trips outside the US (more than half of those to Europe) in the last 3 years. I had to use my memory and email track (god bless e-tickets lol), but I eventually got all the dates.
However, unless you're on the edge of breaking continuous residence a honest mistake (whether it's a wrong date or you forget a short trip) will be overlooked.

Can't you ask them to stamp your passport telling them you need it for immigration purposes?

I doubt it because they know that it's not needed. It's down to the individual to remember, in whatever way, details of their trips.

No it wouldn't be a problem at interview since USCIS verifies your travel dates via CBP database. They only request your passport for verification as needed.
In my interview they never asked for passport, eventhough I had several trips during the statutory period.
 
Nowadays, with the green card, CBP will probably have 100% of your entries.- Just remember to note them down, and verbally state it to the Interviewing Officer... :)
