OLD PASSPORT NO ARRIVAL STAMP

Requested from BI by K. Balatbat at 08:52 AM on Jan 27, 2023.
Purpose: For UK Visa Application
Date of Coverage: 04/11/2019 - 04/22/2019
Tracking no: #BI-458548205573

Hi, may i know how can we (my son and husband's passport too) have our old passport to be stamped? When my family went to Los Angeles, California in April, 2019, the immigration officer forgot to stamp our passports when we arrived here in the Philippines. Our arrival date was April 22, 20219.  I didn't notice it until I apply for a UK Visa online and have to write my travel history.
