Recently, I travelled out of the country and the authorities at the country I travelled to stamped the entry date on the passport when I entered and departure date on the passport when I left the country.
However, when I presented my passport and GC to the immigration counter on arriving back in US at the airport, they scanned my GC, took a look at the passport and let me in. I was tired after the journey and did not look at my passport immediately there. Later when I looked at it, I saw there is NO STAMP on the passport by the US authorities at the airport.
Exactly the same for my wife. They took her GC and passport, scanned her GC by sliding it on a card reader, and then verified her passport and returned it. There are no stamps by US authorities.
On prior travel - a few years back - they used to stamp the passport when you ENTERED USA after traveling abroad. Have they changed the procedure?
PS:
I have retained my boarding passes with me as proof of travel and dates, just in case.
