I just wanted to remind people to save yourself some hassles later on....You should have your passport stamped by the US Customs Officer at your Point of Entry. Without this, you do not have an easy way to show a legal date of entry to the U.S. We needed that proof to get my step-daughter started on coverage for health insurance at my work. My stepdaughter was fortunately allowed to be covered by my insurance without her proof of entry in her passport by showing that she was enrolled in preschool and her airline boarding pass stubs.

But it would have been easier with the passport stamp.

Good Luck to All.
