Good morning,

My name is Vaughn Doran Works, and on the dates mentioned above, I entered and exited Philippines. My passport was not stapmed upon entry or exit.

I am applying to the U.S. government for a visa so my Filipina fiancee can come to the U.S. to get married, and I need to provide as much documentation as possible that I was in Philippines to meet her. Otherwise my application might be denied.
Can you provide this documentation?

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.
